Rio Carnival Runway Show

Each year, the department Fashion Design & Merchandising of West Virginia University organizes a spring fashion show to show case the work of all the students. This year's show had a tropic Rio Carnival theme and featured bright and colorful designs ideal for summer.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Fashion Design & Merchandising majors, and thanks to all the design students for their tremendous work - here's to another great year!

Visual Merchandising Students present Historic Exhibit

What happens when two professors collaborate when one specializes in historic costume, the other visual merchandising? A historic exhibit of course!

Fashion Design and Merchandising majors faced a the ultimate project for their Historic Costume class (taught by Lynn Barnes) and Visual Merchandising course (taught by Nora MacDonald). Here are their exhibits that were on display at the Rio Carnival Day of Design in the Erickson Alumni Center.

 

It took the students several weeks of planning and developing, but once it came time to set up, it's clear what they had learned from their classes. This project has definitely been a great hands on way for students to apply their text book knowledge into every day work.
