Fiat Mode XXVI

 

VANCOUVER, B.C. – On Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ (ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½) will celebrate all things fashion at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s annual graduate fashion arts gala. Fiat Mode XXVI at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s Broadway campus will showcase stunning designs created by this year’s 24 fashion arts graduates.

This year’s collections embrace new materials and a fresh spin on traditional attire. The show will also be presented in a unique, highly interactive format giving audience members a rare opportunity to get within a few feet of the collections.

“This year we want our guests to truly absorb the personality of each design,” says Tene Barber, dean, Continuing Studies. “They can expect a real up-close-and-personal fashion show experience unlike most others.”

 

 

Every year, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s fashion arts graduates showcase raw talent through their refined collections. From evening gowns to hip-hop short shorts and street wear to wedding-inspired styles, our students never fail to impress.

“Fiat Mode gives up-and-coming designers a chance to prepare for the real fashion world,” adds Sarah Murray, show director. “They learn to produce a fashion show -- the industry’s most traditional marketing tool -- and get the opportunity to showcase their collections directly to buyers and the media.”

Fiat Mode XXVI is open to the public. Event details and tickets are available online.
