The current issue of Cincinnati Magazine has a fun article about the process that the fashion design students go through before the annual spring DAAP Fashion Show. Starting with the "final crit" senior students present a collection of 4-5 garments based on a theme, and idea, literature, event, etc. Once that is complete, students show their creations at the DAAP Fashion Show, usually held in June.

I've always been interested in fashion. I had even planned on studying it in college, until someone at my parents' church, who was a high school art teacher, said to me, "Well, you'll end up designing socks for J.C. Penny, so I wouldn't waste your time." That pretty much killed that dream.

Anyway, the DAAP Fashion Show is one of those "I can't believe I am in Cincinnati" events that everybody should go to at least once. Tickets are hard to get, so get them early through the School of Design at DAAP.

It has been amazing to attend school at DAAP for the past 4 years. The level of talent and creativity is amazing. The DAAP Fashion Show is just as you put it - a "I can't believe I'm in Cincinnati" event. It is combined with the larger and equally as impressive DAAP Works end of the year presentation. It is a display of the final projects of all the graduating students from DAAP.

You can check out Architecture, Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Urban Design/Planning, and much more...a great event that everyone should check out at least once.
