St. Clair College is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated 10th Anniversary Atelier Fashion Show, set to take place on April 20, 2024, at 8 pm. The event will be held in the Student Life Centre located at 2000 Talbot Road West on the main campus.
Fashion Design Professor, Elaine Chatwood, underlines the objectives of the fashion show.
" This event aims to not only showcase student collections for their portfolios but also provides experiential learning opportunities and serves as a fundraiser for the Student's Fashion Design Club. It facilitates networking with industry professionals, VIP Judges, and potential employers, as students have secured employment directly from previous shows." Chatwood said.
This event promises to be an inspiring platform for our Fashion Design students to unveil their final projects, showcasing the culmination of their creativity and innovation nurtured throughout the academic year. The graduate collections from the 2nd year students encompass a diverse array of categories and will feature the return of first and second-place designers from the 2023 event.
While this event stands as the pinnacle project for the Fashion Design students. It also represents a cohesive effort across multiple disciplines including Graphic Design, Hairstyling, Esthetician, Culinary, Robotics, Marketing, and Media Convergence.
In recognition of the show's 10-year legacy, graduates are invited to participate in the Decade of Design exhibit, a tribute that will feature static presentations of their finest designs alongside past fashion show posters and highlights.
Awards presented during the event include the prestigious Télio Impact Award, recognizing sustainability efforts with a generous $1000 cash prize. Additionally, three scholarship prizes, sponsored by the St. Clair Alumni Association, for the top three collections.
The VIP Judging Panel boasts a lineup of esteemed industry professionals, including Molly Wang, Senior Designer at Shinola and Anita Osasona, Owner and Designer at DeLanie's. CTV News Windsor Anchor, Stefanie Masotti, will guide patrons through the evening's festivities as emcee.
Guests can choose between VIP tickets priced at $50, which include exclusive access to the VIP reception and reserved seating, or general admission tickets at $25. Proceeds from ticket sales will directly support the Fashion Club for organizing future industry-based field trips.
