Description

​Tickets are now on sale for the annual Kirkwood Fashion Show and Apparel Merchandising and Design Exhibition, held on Sunday, May 4, at Ballantyne Auditorium! These are exciting annual events where students showcase their acquired fashion skills and accomplishments. Students experience planning and managing the fashion show and exhibition as part of their capstone project in the apparel program at Kirkwood Community College. 

 

"Flourish" is the theme of this year's Blue Carpet events. We are thrilled to host a fashion show and exhibition that demonstrates our learning, creativity, and personal growth. These events will highlight our development as designers and fashion professionals while also reflecting our journey of self-discovery and artistic expression. We have flourished in the Apparel Merchandising and Design program, collaborated across multi-disciplines, strived to be inclusive, and forged community connections. Our fashion show will exhibit designs from apparel students and styled looks from our local retail partners. Come celebrate our accomplishments with us!


 

Tickets to the fashion show also include a viewing of our exhibition of student work, located in Iowa Hall Rooms A/B on the second floor. This is a showcase of handcrafted, student artifacts from the apparel classes or individual projects. Doors for the Apparel Merchandising and Design Exhibition opens at 5:00 PM.
