A Brief History of the Fashion Show

The Textiles and Clothing Fashion Show is one of Iowa State Academy's most successful educatee-produced events. The style bear witness was originally staged on the steps of MacKay Auditorium, in MacKay Hall, and in Curtiss Hall. In 1989, the catwalk used for the show grew from 5 to twenty feet long. Every bit the show continued to grow in audience and designer participation, a alter in venue was needed. The fashion show moved to Fisher Theater in 2000 and most recently, to Stephens Auditorium in 2005. Since 2007, student winners of the almanac fashion bear witness have been displayed in the Mary Alice Gallery, 1015 Morrill Hall during the summertime months. The exhibit showcases the talent and scholarship of Iowa State's Clothes, Merchandising, and Design program.
