OCAD University’s auditorium was transformed into a quasi-catwalk on Friday April 22 for Not Just a Fashion Show. The event spotlighted 100 wearable works of art created by 23 students from 12 programs. Mirrored masks, sparkling crystals and LED-infused fabrics added a glow to the outfits, which ranged from whimsical to highly functional.
The high-energy student-led project was developed and curated by Ali Haider (Graphic Design) and Jasmine So (Industrial Design) with support from faculty members Tarah Burke and Dorie Millerson and funding from the Office of the President.
Student models wore the outfits by designers from across all three faculties:
- Aine O’Neill, Industrial Design
- Amie Blechta, Drawing & Painting
- Arpanaa Logedas, Illustration
- Ava Cochrane, Photography
- David Yun, Industrial Design
- Elizabeth Aguilar, Drawing & Painting
- Hatley Walker, MAAD
- Hillary Dube, MAAD, Fibre
- Ilan Max, Industrial Design
- Iman Khan, Graphic Design
- Julia Yeh, MAAD, Fibre
- Kaitlin Smith, Graphic Design
