On Thursday April 21, 2011, around 5000 people convened in the Frank Erwin Center to watch the UT Senior Fashion Show. Aptly named "Innovation," the show featured new ways of interpreting fashion. Interesting details included glow-in-the-dark strips on clothing, origami pleats, eco-friendly dyes, neon lights on evening gowns, transformable sleeves/skirts, and so much more. Also notable was the diversity of the models and the collections; not only beautiful girls of all shades walked the runway, but there were also a surprisingly large number of menswear collections and thus male models. All senior design students were asked to design a three-piece capsule collection, an eveningwear outfit, and a bridal piece. In addition, a few UT-colored pieces kickstarted the fashion show which are now available for purchase at the UT Co-op.
Although I usually hate bridalwear, my favorite part was definitely the wedding gowns! My two favorites have to be the Marchesa-esque origami gown and the champagne-colored tulle gown (modeled by my gorgeous friend Briana!). What I love the most about the UT show is that it's pretty much a "family affair"; Austin has a very small fashion community and I knew a lot of the models, organizers, photographers and showgoers. I go to many many fashion shows in Austin (and have modeled for a few as well) but it's safe to say my favorite show in Austin will always be the UT one.
These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg for the UT fashion show! Head over to my Facebook page for LOADS more...
UPDATE: Yes UT has a wonderful Textiles and Apparel program, in fact it's where Kelly of The Glamourai actually graduated from!
