Evolution is the fall/winter Fashion Design AAS exhibition, exploring the natural cycle of fashion through a floral lens. For this showcase, students delve into the theme of evolution—from the seed of a concept to the buds of growth, from the blossoms of creativity to the final bloom of completion. Each phase of their process reflects change, transformation, and renewal.

In the spirit of collaboration, students from the Illustration Department interpret transformation through fashion illustrations, while students from the Photography Department capture moments of becoming—documenting their peers in the Fashion Design AAS program as they bring new visions to life.

Conception, iteration, and creation—Evolution celebrates fashion’s continual, ever-unfolding movement forward, shaped by growth and renewal.

This exhibition is organized by the Fashion Design AAS Exhibition Committee, in collaboration with Dan Shefelman, chair of Illustration, and Allison Wade Wermager, chair of Photography.
