Purdue Fashion Show

I am a lucky girl!
I got the opportunity to be an intern for the summer at niche, my name is Chelsea and I am a proud Purdue Apparel Design Student!!Every year Purdue University holds a fashion show where the Apparel Design and Technology students are able to show off garments that they have designed and produced. A lot of work goes into this show and some of the looks turn out to be absolutely fabulous.
Everything that goes into the show from the clothes to the staging and ticketing is all done by the students. Throughout the spring semester we have a class that divides us up into teams where we are able to handle models management, models presentation, finance, venue, music, art gallery, design and dressers, publications, etc. We hold model call outs, hire people to do hair and make up, set up the stage and get real experience on working a fashion show, and if i must say so myself it always turns out well.The way it works is that freshman produce one look, sophmores produce two and juniors produce 3. Seniors are able to produce an entire collection! These collection rage from 6 tp as many garments they want. This year the highest number was 12!!


Anyway pictures are worth a thousand words...so here are some of the looks!!--
