6:00 PM-8:00 PM
Join us for an AMAZING One-Night Only event in the Pearlstein Gallery located inside of the URBN Annex Building on Tuesday June 11!
In a world where fashion and sustainability intertwine, students from the Design and Merchandising Program will showcase a diverse range of creative projects, business plans, and research at their upcoming senior show.
From sustainable leather alternatives to an innovative resale program, they will explore novel solutions for a more sustainable and inclusive future. Research will examine body positivity on the runway, while a sustainable collection for Selkie will demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of style and sustainability. Business plans, such as Earthminds, will propose strategies to educate and inspire change.
Research will investigate the impact of meaningful events on local retailers, the evolution of fashion brand storytelling, consumer insights, 3D design, the symbiotic relationship between film and fashion, micro influencers, and immersive retail experiences as key drivers of emotional connection. Studies on equitable haircare and the rise of social media authenticity will challenge conventional notions of beauty.
Through their passion, creativity, and commitment to sustainability, these future leaders will demonstrate the transformative power of knowledge and shared vision for a better tomorrow in the fashion industry. Attendees can expect to be inspired by the innovative ideas and groundbreaking solutions presented at this eagerly anticipated senior show.
