Academy Of Art University Runway: Womenswear Dares To Dress To Impress
Posted in: Uncategorized  | Last Thursday, Stylehive went to San Francisco’s Academy of Art Graduation Fashion Show, where over forty graduating BFA and MFA students presented their designs to a packed audience. The show was anything but predictable with designers inspired by anything from demilitarization, shells, and children’s book Where the Wild Things Are. Some fashion design students and textile design students actually collaborated with each other to create some amazing pieces. Designers Eun Na Hwang and Lauren N. Herrera came together with romantic and vintage inspired floral prints with modern geometric and architectural shapes. Jewelry pieces were very avant-garde with delicate wire sculptures that looked like they were sprouting out of the model’s shoulders to metal flowers embellishing the front of a dress. I got to talk to a few designers at the reception before the show and many were eager to land a job after graduation or travel to Europe to learn more fashion design skills. Whatever they plan on doing, I expect nothing less than bright futures for all of them! Take a look at my slideshow for some of my favorite looks from the show. Photo credit: Randy Brooke |
