VCU Juried Fashion Show May 1, 2009

The Virginia Commonwealth University Department of Fashion Design and Merchandising will host its Annual Juried Fashion Show, titled “MUSE,” on May 1 at VCU.

“MUSE” will include 16 segments of student-designed garments, ranging from evening wear to swimwear. The show will include a segment of street wear, named Street Cycle, inspired by the up-and-coming urban dance and vintage mix trends. Each of the designer collections was inspired by museums, including the Valentine Museum and Children’s Museum in Richmond, the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas and the Sports Museum in New York City. Many of the garments showcased in “MUSE” were designed with a focus on sustainable fabrics and recycled apparel.
