Fashion Update






School has started up again and winter has definitely set in for Tallahassee. This is a great time to bring out those scarves and boots you couldn't wait to wear back when it was blistering hot just a few months ago. For those of you, who can't wait for the beach weather to return, don't worry. Spring is right around the corner. Along with the arrival of spring, so is the Florida State annual spring Fashion Show. This is the longest standing fashion show at Florida State University and is a great way to see what the designers of tomorrow are creating today. The designers for the show are FSU Apparel Design students. This is a great event to watch for some possible future trends. The event will be held at the club called The Moon. The theme is Fashion Reality. Media affects fashion greatly through shows like Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, and even all the media hype on the designers dressing the new First Lady. More information will be coming out as the FSU Fashion Show develops.

I know at the end of last semester I was not as up to date as I would have liked to have been on writing for the blog. Fall Fashion Week, though, went off without a hitch. The main event, Project Reconstruction, was a great success for all those Fashion students involved. A mantra that has been quoted frequently of late is "green is the new black". This is also true with your fashion. FSU apparel students created clothing with sustainable and recycled items. There were also other items on show that were all reconstructed. Check out the photos. Maybe they will inspire you to fix up a few items in your house and wardrobe instead of throwing them out. Get creative!
