Fashion students of International Academy of Design and Technology (IADT) from Chicago are going to display their talent and expertise in a series of summer fashion show.
They will be participating for half hour fashion show will be on both Saturday and Sunday, July 30th and 31st. at 6 pm. The next show will be at the "Taste of Lincoln Avenue" event. This event began in 1984, as a way to help fund the Wrightwood Neighbors Association, and to provide financial support for local schools and non-profit organizations through grants. It began with crowds of 10,000 attendees, and has now grown to more than 50,000 visitors for the two-day event.
As part of the Merchandising Management curriculum Fashion Show Practicum, these Fashion Design & Fashion Merchandising classes work all summer on events which they run themselves, including fittings, dressing and supervision of the Ford models that are used in the show, garment selection and preparation, choreography, music, and full set up and breakdown of the show. IADT is a career-focused school that offers training in fashion design and classes that are relevant to a future career.
The junior and senior level student's work began in May with the International Academy of Design and Technology's 26th annual student fashion show, IMAGINE 2005, sponsored by General Motors' North Central Region. It was a student-produced event, showing some of the season's most innovative and memorable fashion concepts. The summer shows will use some of the same garments from IMAGINE, some new ones, some from former shows; from casual to wearable art for evening.
