In Fashion: Front Row, Red Carpet & Charity: Art Institute of Atlanta - Atlanta End of Class Fashion Show

“Floraless: The New Order of Fashion”
Fashion Show

 
Ai_CFL_Lockup_Horizontal


WHO: Fashion students at The Art Institute of Atlanta

WHAT: “Floraless: The New Order of Fashion”
A spring-summer fashion show that shakes up the traditional mindset of springtime fashions and presents a more innovative point of view. Five creative designers will each showcase eight to ten looks that include features like stripes, crop tops and draped skirts. The fashion show will present a collection of hot new trends for spring/summer looks while rebelling against the industry’s cliché floral prints.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 11, 2014, 5 pm

WHERE: The Art Institute of Atlanta, 6600 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd NE, 100 Embassy Row, Atlanta, GA 30328, just north of Abernathy Road in Sandy Spring. Four blocks from GA 400.

WHY: In the film “The Devil Wears Prada,” Meryl Streep, her voice dripping with sarcasm, says, “Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking…” Fashion students at The Art Institute of Atlanta have taken her mocking words to heart and designed a spring fashion show that aims to reveal something different.

HOW: . General admission tickets are $5, VIP tickets are $20 and Art Institute of Atlanta students with student ID are admitted without charge. Tickets will be sold at the door, subject to availability.

VISUALS: 40+ looks from five local designers creatively styled for spring and summer – with no floral prints! See stripes, dots, geometric textiles in some of the season’s trendiest shapes. Behind the scenes shots can be arranged, as can interviews with the students and faculty who have created the show.
