This year's runway show will conclude with the elaborate and diverse creations of more than 40 seniors, the largest graduating class in SAIC Fashion Design history. Fashion and art lovers from across the nation will enjoy a spectacular runway show featuring cutting-edge garments by the next generation of up-and-coming designers.
