A Dream for Fashionistas
Missouri Life Magazine | March 7, 2005
Is fashion your ultimate passion? Discover the 81st annual Student Designer Fashion Show hosted by Stephens College in Columbia.
The event will feature garments showcased through a fashion show produced fully by Stephens College fashion students. The event will have showings at 2 PM, 4:30 PM, and 7 PM on April 26 at Windsor Auditorium on Stephen’s Campus.
“The Collections is a culmination of the students’ hard work over the course of the academic year. These young designers spend countless hours researching, planning, sewing, and tailoring to bring their concepts to life,” says Ashlynne Sage, publicity chair of the event.
This year will have six senior collections. The Jury of Selection, a panel of industry professionals, examines each garment to select only the best for the fashion show.
“Year after year, Stephens College fashion students set their sights on what they believe to be fashion’s new vision. By combining the old with the new and creating something out of the blue, we were led to this year’s theme—Curated Absurdity,” Ashlynne says. “In the world of fashion, there are no limits to what you can create. With this year’s fashion show, we are celebrating the inevitable connection between curated art and absurd designs. The fashion students have poured their sweat and tears into their whimsical designs that will leave viewers joyful with a new perspective of fashion.”
