On Friday, April 1, 2011, the Fashion Communications Milestone held their 5th annual fashion show, “Fashion Follows Form.”
The Fashion Communications Milestone is a collaboration of the students from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication and the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The Milestone created a theme that embraced every body shape and color form. The fashion show showcased a variety of collections, each touching upon a different theme. Each theme was hosted by a different group, and brilliantly showcased fashion’s diversity.
There were a total of 5 collections and 105 different looks.
The first collection, “All Shapes and Sizes.” This collection showed the different shapes and sizes of not only people but of fabrics as well. It had very inspiring outfits, which were donated by the Thrifty Shopper store.
The second collection, “Breast Cancer Awareness,” was by far the most inspring collection. It held a significant meaning behind it, and casted some models that were actual breast cancer surviviors. It proved to be the highlight of the show.
The third collection proved to be the most creative. This collections was done by professor Laurel Morton, SU students, and students from the Syracuse City middle school. This collection showed looks that were made from recyclable fabric. It was a great collection to live an eco-friendly life.
The Fouth colloction was by Syracuse University’s Fashion Conscience organization. This collection was inspired by both African and modern American cultures. They used a lot of patterens and colors throughout the collection. It was a great collection to invite the new Spring season.
The final collection was done by the freshman, sophomore, and junior SU students. They had the chance to showcase their talents, as future designers for the industry.
They put on a very talented show, and put me in the mood to go SHOPPING to get ready for the spring season.
