The Unions Arts Council will host its Second Annual Spring Fashion Show Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Stotler Lounge.

All MU students are invited to participate, but a majority of participants are students in the Textile and Apparel Management department. As of now, six MU student designers will be featured.

“We hope that the fashion show will give students an opportunity to showcase their work, and that the Mizzou community will have a chance to see what our incredibly talented students are capable of,” UAC Adviser Alicia Fitzgerald said. “The effort the student designers put into their work is impressive, and we are excited to give them a platform to show off their designs.”

Sophomore Jennifer Matthews, a UAC member, coordinated this year’s event.

“Last year, we had a theme for the show, and this year there is no theme,” Matthews said. “I think not having a theme allows the designers to enter whatever pieces they want and encompasses a wider range of talent.”

Judges will select two top pieces, and attendees will text in their votes for a third favorite piece. Visa gift cards will be awarded to designers of the winning pieces.

Junior Kristen George is a featured designer who made a royal blue silk dupioni dress with pleating.

“Some people have a misconception about what TAM majors do,” George said. “This show can give people the opportunity to appreciate how much work we put into our designs and the technicality behind them.”

Designers could submit multiple pieces but will be judged based on one piece of their choice.

Senior Sara Kahrs submitted two pieces. She will be judged on her wine-colored satin dress that has a hand-beaded bodice and tulle skirt.

“My first fashion show was (earlier) this year, and I’ve already learned a lot through the process,” Kahrs said. “Seeing my work being modeled versus it being on a form really helps me to grow as a designer and improve with each show.”

Designers Kahrs and George both said they will remain confident in their works no matter what type of feedback they get from attendees

“Not everyone is going to love what you make,” George said. “Part of being comfortable with your own aesthetic is owning what your design is and owning what you’ve made, regardless of what people think.”

Freshman Erika Enlow said she is attending the event to support the student designers in the beginning stages of their fashion careers.

“I love going to fashion shows and art shows to witness the beauty of what people create,” Enlow said. “It’s important that we, as a community, support these students because this is a time in which they need the extra push.”
