Unexpected Couture Returns to the Runway.

April 6, 2024 | 7:00 p.m.

On April 6, 2024, more than 250 students will present unconventional fashion designs themed around "Philias and Phobias" to a sold out crowd. By the night of the big show, our student teams will have selected a word that functions as a prefix to both theme concepts (e.g. Technophilia/Technophobia or Bibliophilia/Bibliophobia) and spent weeks giving life to form as they prepare to walk the runway.    

Revisit 2023 Fashion Without Fabric.

Fashion Without Fabric 2023, “Inventions and Innovations," showcased the creative work of 280 students, whose designs were composed of anything but fabric.
