2021 Fashion Show - Emerge
Virtual fashion shows have become more of a norm in the industry due to COVID-19 restrictions. On April 9, the Department of Design and Merchandising premiered a virtual edition of the annual CSU Fashion Show, “Emerge,” which was filmed live outdoors at the Nancy Richardson Design Center ahead of the event premier. An exciting collaboration with CSU’s Department of Journalism and Media Communications made the show a reality. Watch now!

Student Involvement
This year’s production, Emerge, featured different collections of exquisite garments designed by the senior students studying apparel design and production. Collections highlighted our designers’ academic careers, as each piece is designed, constructed, and styled by graduating apparel design students. Viewers were able to experience the show virtually in the comfort of their own homes.
The production of Emerge was planned and implemented by the Fashion Show Production and Event Planning class. The class is made up of students in the Apparel and Merchandising major along with other majors at CSU and emphasizes the components and strategies involved in developing a successful fashion show production, this year concentrating on virtual platforms.
