To Stephens College Community,
It is with great sadness that I announce the official cancellation of The Collections: 76th Annual Student Designer Fashion Show. Stephens College has been following the development of COVID-19 and keeping the suggestions and instructions from the City of Columbia, Governor Parsons and the CDC. This decision was made in response to overseeing the health and the security of our students and our community.
The faculty of the Fashion Programs at Stephens College is working hard on developing new strategies to showcase our students’ work. Despite the momentary disruption and change, as creative problem solvers, we are working non-stop on the future of our programs. It is a moment of adaptation and innovation. This moment represents the beginning of new traditions and most certainly, new strategies.
I want to recognize the hard work of our Fashion Design and Product Development Seniors for creating the most beautiful and innovative collections. The faculty of the Fashion Programs feels extremely proud and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for each of you. I also want to thank the FAS 310 Fashion Show Production class for working hard on the strategy and promotion of the event.
It is a time to stay cautious and courageous.
Please stay home, stay safe and be kind.
In solidarity and with kindness,
Stephanie Carlo
Chair of the Fashion Programs
Stephens College
