From lions and lambs to gothic and medieval royalty to mental health awareness, there is no inspirational ground left uncovered for University of Wisconsin-Stout fashion and retail students as they prepare to grace the runway at the WEAR Fashion Show.
As part of UW-Stout’s Showcase of student-centered events in April and May, fashion and retail students’ clothing collections will be featured at WEAR at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 29, in the Memorial Student Center Great Hall. Tickets are available online.
Juniors and seniors will show approximately 36 pieces in women’s and men’s collections, modeled by the designers themselves, their brothers and sisters and alumni.
For their capstone course, seniors developed full collections, complete with brand names; marketing materials, such as photos, videos and postcards; and business plans, which they will display at a trade show-style exhibit after the runway show, in the MSC ballrooms.
The event is hosted by the WEAR Fashion Association student organization. This will be the second in-person event since COVID, when two virtual shows were presented.
