It is so amazing to see students designers emerge and celebrate the work that they’ve been creating during their time at school! We are so excited to see this show!
Watch virtually when you register here!
Join us for a virtual RMCAD Fashion Design annual showcase on Saturday, September 25. There will be delectable refreshments, door prizes, and a celebration of our community as we recognize our graduating seniors and highlight their individual talents and creative directions.
This year we feature:
Amaya Leverette, Refined Utility
Melissa Granado, Gothic Sophistication
Mikaela Greene, Punk Rock Elegance
In addition, we will also be introducing our up-and-coming student designers in a group segment entitled, “Gather.” Gather has many definitions including garment construction, assembling together, and collecting items or thoughts. Come and see how each of our students have interpreted this theme in their own creative way for their Gather-inspired designs.
Denver-based organization Fashion West celebrates fashion from the perspective and spirit of the American West. We feature artisans who craft pieces individually by hand- to designers that made their start in the west then scaled their businesses to larger international markets -to designers from anywhere in the world who capture our imagination.
Inventive runway segments crafted for the public eye and beauty trade alike- presented by leading figures in the international hair salon industry.
