One of the largest student-run fashion shows in the nation is in the process of planning by a committee of Iowa State students. The Fashion Show is a place for the apparel, merchandising and design program (AMD), to showcase their work.
The AMD program provides education on the textile and clothing industry along with creation. Developing products, marketing and production are key aspects of this program.
“It gives the design students an opportunity to show off the work that they’ve been working on throughout their college career, specifically their senior collection,” said Liv Makeever, managerial producer and AMD senior.
With Makeever’s emphasis on merchandising, it is a chance for her to have a large event to put on her resume.
Along with student designers, The Fashion Show also partners with a guest designer. Currently, finding a theme and a partnering company to match is the outreach producer’s main task. In the past, Patagonia, Vans and Urban Outfitters have been included.
