Apparel Design Fashion Showcase

2023 APPAREL DESIGN FASHION SHOWCASE

DAWN

In addition to designing a fashion line, the senior class is responsible for raising all of the funds in order to produce an annual fashion show. We are excited to bring back our fashion show and exhibition, to celebrate and jumpstart our careers in the industry. But we need your help to host our monumental fashion show experience once again.

Fundraising and ticket sales from the fashion show help cover some of the costs for our photography, lights, venue, hair and makeup and more. We need your help more than ever to bring our creative vision to life.

Your generous contribution would help cover the costs of professional photography, sound and lights, portfolio development, hair and make-up and more!

Support the class of 2022/23 and create a pathway for young designers as they reemerge into the industry. 

Since 1968, apparel design students at the University of Minnesota have been presenting their original designs in an annual Student Fashion Show. This event is a rite of passage and an opportunity for apparel students to engage the community with their designs, creating a place to discuss fashion and the many different roles apparel plays in our lives. While things continue to evolve, we are committed to this experience meeting the needs of the students each year.

Your contribution includes a thank you and a tax-deductible gift of your choice to the University of Minnesota’s Apparel Design Program.
