KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 22, 2022 \u2013 Several 溏心vlog免费B站 students will present very different visions of the red dress at the 18th annual Spring Splash Fashion Show on Sunday, April 24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The students in the College of Business\u2019 Department of Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design will present their designs during the \u201cWaves of Change\u201d fashion show at 4:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom, 50 Lower College Road, on the Kingston Campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe chose \u2018Waves of Change\u2019 because of the changes we\u2019ve seen since COVID,\u201d said Associate Professor Susan Hannel. \u201cWe haven\u2019t had an in-person Splash since 2019, so that was a change. And this year, we are back on campus. We had the show off campus three times but the 15 years before that we were always on campus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannel is coordinating the event with Lecturer Elaine Grullon. Students in TMD 442 Fashion Promotion and independent study are also helping with the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The students are creating the red dresses as part of their draping course using different methods and inspiration. One design is inspired by 1930s fashion, and another uses a Japanese shibori textile manipulation technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a big event for students,\u201d said Hannel. \u201cNothing beats the sense of accomplishment more than seeing the mental picture of a design on a model walking down the runway. Students learn so much. The process of going from an idea to creating an illustration to developing the patterns, sewing the fabric pieces together and perfecting the fit on a human body is a profound learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lillian Marie, of Northwood, New Hampshire<\/strong>, who is majoring in Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design, is showing her fashions in Spring Splash for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am excited to share my pieces with everyone that attends,\u201d said Marie. \u201cI have created three 1930s evening gowns. My garments are not quite finished, but they are coming along great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe experience so far has been stressful, but enjoyable because I am doing something that I love, which is designing and producing clothing,\u201d she added. \u201cSpring Splash has pushed me beyond the boundaries, but I have loved every second.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
