A Message from the Chair

The Fashion Design Department’s foundation is built on creativity, technical mastery, and professional development. We are dedicated to shaping skilled professional fashion designers by fostering strong connections with the fashion industry. A distinctive highlight of our program is the chance to learn directly from Mentors—renowned fashion industry leaders and costume designers who generously share their knowledge and expertise with our students.

This year’s theme, Kaleidoscope, celebrates a vibrant showcase of student talent and creativity. Inspired by the mesmerizing interplay of color and form, students have crafted intricately beaded and ethereal luxury evening gowns. They explored innovative drapes to redefine traditional silhouettes. Their designs feature striking graphics, skillfully layered to create dynamic mélanges, all while embracing responsible practices such as material recycling to advance ecological awareness. Kaleidoscope celebrates the artistry and ingenuity of our fashion design seniors, pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability.

The fashion design program is committed to preparing students for promising careers, as innovative designers, and leaders of tomorrow.
