The show was called “Reveal” and was billed as “Our Moment in Fashion.”
For the designers showing garments in Domincan University’s annual student fashion show over the weekend, “Reveal” featured a range of visions and glimpses of promising careers.
More than 100 garments came down the runway and while several apparel design majors showed their work, “Reveal” was a chance for the graduating seniors to bring a conceptual storyline to a collection of clothes.
Here is a sample of work from each of the 10 seniors.
