Art to Wear 2009!

Why not make it a 2 post night?!  Especially with all the end of the school year excitement!
One of the biggest events to happen at NC State each year is the Art to Wear Fashion Show, a collaborative event hosted by the College of Textiles and the College of Design.  

Art to Wear was initiated in 2001 by Anni Albers Scholars (my program!) with the help of College of Design and AASP faculty member, Vita Plume.  Since its initiation 8 years ago, the show has grown from 100 spectators, to over 3000!  Over the years Art to Wear has changed many features to meet the demands of its increasing popularity: it has had 3 different homes on NCSU's campus, studio classes have been added to both colleges focusing on the show, and the committee of students involved in all aspects from design, to communications, to fundraising and more has grown substantially!  One thing that has not changed with time, is the extreme quality and creativity unleashed in every one of the student designs.  The professionalism of this event is remarkable, and admirable!  I am proud to have been a part of this event in the past, but I also enjoyed this year's experience as an audience member.  This was the first time I had not seen the designers' pieces prior to the show, and I was as impressed as ever!
