For the Annual Fashion Show, a panel of industry professionals reviews students’ work, which ranges from athletic wear to eveningwear, to decide which collections and looks will be presented on the runway. Merchandising students plan and organize the two-day sequence of events, which includes three runway performances and a VIP reception for donors. The VIP reception will take place prior to the final awards show.

Tickets are $25 for the matinee at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 24 (cash or check only, paid at the door). Tickets are $50 for Friday’s 7 p.m. Opening Night Show and $75 for the 7 p.m. Awards Show on Saturday.
