USA based International Academy of Design and Technology's fashion design students are learning about fashion shows the smart way in this summer - they are doing it themselves.

As part of the Merchandising Management curriculum, Fashion Show Practicum, these Fashion Design & Fashion Merchandising classes together work all summer on events which they run themselves, including fittings, dressing and supervision of the Ford models that are used in the show, garment selection and preparation, choreography, music, and full set up and breakdown of the show.

IADT is a career-focused school that offers training in today's modern technology, and classes that are relevant to a future career.

The junior and senior level students" work began in May with the International Academy of Design and Technology"s 26th annual student fashion show, IMAGINE 2005, sponsored by General Motors" North Central Region.

It was a student-produced event, showing some of the season"s most innovative and memorable fashion concepts. The summer shows will use some of the same garments from IMAGINE, some new ones, some from former shows; from casual to wearable art to evening.

The first of the shows is on July 9th at 12:30, at the Lakeview"s Clark Street Fair on the Clark and Addison Stage. A half hour show, these shows should be a little more casual, lively and shorter than the big Imagine show with new music, new choreography, some different garments and with less complicated hair and makeup.
