Fashion Shows inColleges
Fashion shows are the best way to showcase a fashion designer’s collections to a select audience that appreciates the beuty and utility of their designs. This also gives them the required publicity so that a larger market base can be attracted. But what is the purpose of fashion shows in colleges ??
I can understand the utility of fashion shows in a Fashion Design institute, where the student designers design some original dresses and some copied from the fashion design fraternity around the world. But the fashion shows in the colleges that are no where related to fashion seems to be a joke. It is not only a joke in the sense of a general college organizing a fashion show but also in the type and quality of designs and clothing that are used on the ramp. The models used — i can’t withstand the ugliness of the show. They are the commoners whom you won’t take a look even if they came in the most glamorous looks they could afford.
Fashion shows incolleges is just a mindgame where in the students think this is what a fashion show sould be like and don’t get a even a glimpse of the real thing.
What a great blog. I agree with you on colleges and fashion shows. I’ve been to a couple and they were jokes. I do wish I could watch one of Parson’s shows however, it seems to be one of the few worthwhile ones.
