�� the Annual Fashion Show

Our Annual Fashion Show highlights the outstanding talent of ��’s design and merchandising students.

Students submit work (everything from athletic wear to evening gowns) to a panel of industry experts, who decide which collections and looks will be presented on the runway.

The Annual Fashion Show is a key part of the senior year experience. Our fashion students plan and organize the two-day event every April as an opportunity to showcase and celebrate their achievements.
