Art to Wear (A2W), collaboration between the College of Design and College of Textiles at North Carolina State University, will take place at Reynolds Coliseum on April 24, 2012, at 7 PM.
Initiated in 2002 by Vita Plume, Art to Wear's past Art and Design Faculty Advisor, along with a couple of Anni Albers Scholars; A2W is an educational event where students gain experience by coordinating and producing an annual show.
Previously held in 'the pit' at the College of Design with merely a hundred spectators, A2W now resides in Reynolds Coliseum playing host to over 4,000 attendants annually.
In addition to encouraging participation by engaging the student body, the Raleigh community, and the broader design industry; young designers are challenged to imagine, create, and inspire by expressing their point of view through wearable art.
This highly anticipated and eclectic show emphasizes a fusion of art and fashion, making it anything but your typical fashion show. Fusing the talents of both NC State's College of Design and College of Textiles, the show exposes student designers to the broader field of fashion.
This years' fashion show will feature collections from 18 student designers, all picked by a jury and eager to showcase their latest designs.
