By Ally Jackson Student models and designers scattered throughout the Trustees Theater May 24 waiting for the first dress rehearsal for the spring fashion show, "Fashion Forward," to begin. In the far right of the orchestra sat Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley and renowned model coach Jay Alexander giving last minute directions, advice and assurances. "I think that Jay has helped the models so there will be a smooth flow, a linear elegance to this year’s show," said Talley. "The fashion department’s international scope of fashion design is amazing. It is a melting pot of history and cultural influences that enables students to really gain knowledge from each other." Both Talley and Alexander have traveled the world and worked with leaders in the fashion and modeling industries. On this particular day, however, their concerns lay with one thing: SCAD students. It was difficult to get them to speak of anything else. Talley noted that there were several students from this year’s show who show exceptional promise. M.F.A. candidate Muhammad Umer Rehman held the attention of the audience with a collection that concentrated on his Pakistani heritage, with elaborate beading to accentuate the motif. Even from the back of the theater the fabrics shimmered with great detail on the garments presented. With shows at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. May 25, students had their work cut out for them. Back stage, last-minute make-up preparations were being made, collections organized and paths choreographed. Once the lights came up in the theater, the students efforts paid off: The event was flawless. The designs inspired gasps and applause from the audience. From the minimalist to ornate, this year’s event provided the broadest and most developed collections to date from the fashion department. There was something for everyone. more---> |
