If you’re tired of the oversized sweaters and scarves of winter and ready for some spring fashion inspiration, you won’t have to look any further than the SMU campus this weekend.
The SMU Retail Club is bringing the runway to Meadow’s Museum Saturday as they host their annual Spring Fashion Show. The show will highlight the incredible talents of local designers as well as SMU students who have launched their own lines. Twenty student will model pieces from designers Brianna Kavon, Ashley Featherston, Sarah Jones, Julie Michel, SMU alumnae Amber Venz and Elizabeth Carlock, SMU junior Ali Grace and additional apparel from SMU alum-owned boutique Betty Cupcake.
“I am so excited to really use the resources we have as members of SMU’s Retail Club to pull together a fantastic show,” Shelby Foster, President of the Retail Club, said.
Foster hopes the fashion show will give the Retail Club a strong presence in the Dallas fashion community and call attention to the innate sense of style on the SMU campus.
The runway show starts at 6 p.m. but guests are invited to come an hour early to learn more about the fashion industry through a pre-show panel at 5 p.m. The panel will feature SMU graduates who work in some facet of the fashion industry.
Panelists include Neiman Marcus Publicist Apryl Churchill, PaperCity Magazine Assistant Editor Christina Geyer, Daily Candy Dallas Editor and Dallas Flea Founder Brittany Edwards Cobb and President of SageBerry Consulting Steve Dennis.
SMU graduate student Justin Smith, also known as DJ Zoo, will be providing the music at the event.
There is no admission charge, making it a rare opportunity for fashion-minded students to network and learn more about the industry from SMU graduates and Dallas designers.
