Montclair State University\u2019s end-of-the-year fashion show has returned to the catwalk for the first time since 2019. The in-person show had been paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The student designers were met with a sold-out show that was a multimedia experience, as their looks were livestreamed for the first time.<\/p>\n

The fashion show showcases student designs and features student models. The program was forced to go virtual during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just such a hard time, especially trying my best to learn in class Zoom. It was just very difficult,\u201d says senior Yara Yont. \u201cI feel like I did have to sacrifice a lot of my learning because it\u2019s much harder learning by yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had some training in visual communication and the fashion students did it themselves,\u201d says Abby Lillethun, deputy chair of Art & Design. \u201cThey did motion graphics and they videotaped themselves with friends and they edited a show. It was of course strange not to be face to face, but it was so enlivening that they could do it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s show is \u201cMass Appeal.\u201d Organizers say that it shows the importance of the masses to the world of fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cFashion is mass. When you talk about fashion, the difference between fashion and style fashion has a mass appeal. The real money isn\u2019t made in the fashion industry until it reaches the masses,\u201d says Pamela Macklin, fashion show coordinator.<\/p>\n

This fashion show is also an opportunity for future designers to win scholarships to further their studies.<\/p>\n
