Spring 2020 Graduate Runway Show

Spring 2020 Graduate Runway Show

Philly Fashion Week has come and gone and it was a big success for our students that were capping off their journey at Made Institute. The event was an opportunity for the students that many people will not be able to experience. They designed, and constructed their own collection and it walked the runway during the top nights of Philly Fashion Week. The graduates encountered the stresses that come with any runway show - from last minute alterations to quick changes between looks. They also got to feel the relief that comes after having an impactful show and a platform to express themselves through clothing.
