Supremely savvy style site Fashionista is currently assembling their annual list of the world's top fashion schools. If you're a SCAD alumnus with a degree in fashion, take a moment to make your voice heard. And if you're here familiarizing yourself with what the SCAD School of Fashion has to offer, read on.

At the undergraduate and graduate level, SCAD fashion students prepare to lead the ever-evolving world of fashion through a rigorous curriculum anchored by creative thinking and dynamic technology. Led by Michael Fink, dean for School of Fashion, and guided by professors with extensive industry experience, students explore fashion from the conceptual to the commercial, merging technical dexterity with personal vision to develop original fashion collections.
 
The SCAD School of Fashion offers degrees in accessory design, fashion, fashion marketing and management, and luxury and fashion management. SCAD offers related minors in menswear, fashion photography, fashion journalism, jewelry, fragrance marketing and management and more, allowing students to refine their focus and build expertise in their disciplines.
 
At SCAD, students converse with critics, designers, buyers and thought leaders like Imran Amed, Norma Kamali, Robin Givhan, Brandon Maxwell and Carolina Herrera who visit SCAD's global campuses to share their experience and insight. Each year, the Style Lab Mentor program affords SCAD fashion students the opportunity to interact one-on-one with established designers like Zac Posen, Catherine Malandrino, Stephen Burrows, Rachel Roy, Christian Siriano and Rafé Totengco. Students liaise with top industry professionals during signature events SCADstyle and SCAD FASHWKND, and the many unique workshops and critiques that bring fashion elite to the university.
 
In May 2017, at the inaugural SCAD FASHWKND, 43 students debuted their collections at a runway show in Savannah, held in the courtyard of the SCAD Museum of Art, featuring a recent installation by the internationally renowned Carlos Cruz-Diez. In Atlanta, the collections were displayed in tableaux vivants throughout the third floor of the university's main building. Both SCAD FASHWKND events featured a Shop The Runway retail component, where SCAD alumni shared and sold their designs.
 
In 2017, SCAD students won 20 YMA Fashion Scholarships, more than any other university in the history of the competition. SCAD graduates have won the Supima Design Competition for two consecutive years: In 2016 womenswear designer Jeffrey Taylor (B.F.A., fashion, 2016) earned the $10,000 grand prize in the 9th annual Supima Design Competition. He was invited to show his collection at Lincoln Center during NYFW, and later showed his collection during Paris Fashion Week. In 2015 SCAD alumna Kate McKenna-Schliep (B.F.A., fashion, 2015) won the Supima competition and showed her collection during Paris Fashion Week.
 
In Atlanta, SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film hosts exhibitions of work by world-renowned designers like Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, as well as historic compendiums including “Embellished: Adornment Through the Ages” and “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain.” To elucidate the themes of each exhibition, SCAD commissions complementary films that are screened in the adjacent SCAD FASH Film Salon. Students can further their studies through the SCAD FASH permanent collection, an archive of more than 1,000 museum quality garments from designers like Oscar de la Renta, Coco Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Vera Wang, and Givenchy.

The exhibition features artfully posed mannequins resting atop lit stages separated by ornate theatrical backdrops and props by SCAD painting professor Michael Brown (M.F.A., painting), associate dean of the School of Fine Arts Kent Knowles (B.F.A., painting, 1997) and Bryan Topczynski (M.F.A., historic preservation, 1996).

Now on display through January 29^th, 2017, "Embellished: Adornment Through the Ages," is a chronicle of European and American fashion represented by hats, accessories and curios. It is the first SCAD FASH exhibition to focus exclusively on the evolution of fashion.

Guests begin their tour through the mysterious and romantically lit hallway, leading to the prominent display of the exhibition’s first piece: an Yves Saint Laurent rooster feather bolero jacket, circa 1970. From there, guests wind through a survey of adornment, from the lavish embellishments of the mid-18th century and the Belle Époque, to the sophisticated elegance of the years during and following the world wars.

Mystically lit to give each piece the illusion of suspension, headwear — such as a 1830s Florentine high drawn straw bonnet, a 1920s felt helmet cloche with silk embroidery and an early 20th century military felucca hat — are featured with a host of other accessories.

Interchangeable shoe buckles from the early 1700s, ornate parasols and a finger stretcher for shaping leather gloves catch the eye while strolling through the ages. Vintage magazines, a miniature fashion doll and numerous other historically significant pieces from the SCAD Permanent Collection complement these treasures, providing extensive insight into economic, cultural and political fashion history.

In addition to the captivating array of styles by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, the House of Balenciaga, and French fashion icon Christian Dior, nearly all of the items on view appear courtesy of world-renowned Italian fashion professor and collector Raffaello Piraino.

This momentous exhibition marks the U.S. debut of selected pieces from the legendary Raffaello Piraino Collection. Housed in Palermo, Italy, the collection consists of more than 5,000 ornate garments and accessories that belonged to the Sicilian aristocracy and bourgeoisie.

"Embellished: Adornment Through the Ages" is curated by Rafael Gomes, SCAD director of fashion exhibitions, with assistance from Luca Lo Sicco, SCAD professor of fashion marketing and management. Admission to the museum is free for museum members, and all SCAD students, faculty, staff with a SCAD CARD. Open to the public with the cost of museum admission.

What’s black and white and seen at SCAD FASH? A much-ballyhooed, life-size zebra created by SCAD alumna Emily Nelms Perez (B.F.A., painting)! The zebra stands amid a selection of dazzling garments at the “Carolina Herrera: Refined Irreverence” exhibition at SCAD FASH, adding whimsy to the show while accentuating the couture.

 

The sense of pride/surprise you feel when Carolina Herrera's gorgeous collection and your work are somehow side by side at @scadfash. Incredible gowns.

SCAD: What was your approach to creating the sculpture?

EMILY NELMS PEREZ: My first thought was that I was actually a little nervous to do the project because my personal work is figurative, contemporary sculpture. Carolina Herrera was showing a collection of her black-and-white gowns, and SCAD wanted a zebra to accompany the exhibition. I approached the project by trying to make a zebra that would complement the dresses in the best way.

SCAD: How did you design the sculpture?

PEREZ: I built my forms in Rhinoceros 3D, and from there I took it into a program called Pepakura, which is used mainly by gamers to create gaming suits. I used that program to cut up the model and create puzzle pieces and lay them out on sheets of cardboard. Then I set it up back into Rhinoceros to be prepped for laser cutting.

It also went through Adobe Illustrator. In Illustrator, I coded the lines to let the laser know what to do. I coded each line to be either a mountain line or a valley line, depending on what kind of fold I needed. Ideally, when you get your files back from your laser cutter, you have hundreds of puzzle pieces with all the lines marked properly.

SCAD: What materials did you use?

PEREZ: With commissions and public art, the goal is to make it as big as possible, but light and durable, too. It’s like building a very large 3-D puzzle. The interior is half hollow and half solid. From the shoulder of the animal to the belly and the legs, it’s all solid, with wooden dowels.

The zebra is made of paper and cardboard. I covered it with a non-toxic, water-based resin five times. That material creates a cement-like compound on the surface and solidifies the paper on the inside. If you touch the zebra, it feels solid. It’s pretty strong and super lightweight.
