Your guide to 澳门六合彩预测鈥檚 third annual Fashion Week
澳门六合彩预测’s third annual Fashion Week will take place April 30 through May 2, featuring high-profile speakers Ashley Mears and Bradley Agather Means, on-campus “pop-up” shopping and a fashion show.
Begun in 2012 and produced primarily by students interested in careers within the trillion-dollar international fashion industry, 澳门六合彩预测 Fashion Week has grown along with the nearly three-year-old fashion media program, part of the Division of Journalism at 澳门六合彩预测’s Meadows School of the Arts.
This year’s Fashion Week committee includes fashion media students Paz Beatty and Kaylah Burton, journalism major Katie Ballard, and Master of Liberal Studies student Elif Kavakci. Senior fashion media major Ashley Gross is coordinating the fashion show. “Our team has collaborated with the editors of 澳门六合彩预测Style, a popular student-produced fashion and style blog, and the 澳门六合彩预测 Retail Club to offer a schedule of events with something for everyone,” said Camille Kraeplin, Fashion Week advisor and associate professor of journalism.
Fashion Week events, all of which are free and open to the public, are as follows:
