SPRING 2021 Fashion Show - "Surreal"
Lynn University
Lynn University students reimagine how fashion is presented in the age of COVID-19. How does one have a fashion show when the designers, models, design team and logistical crew aren’t in one place? Over the course of the spring semester, students went behind the scenes and spoke to some of today’s hottest fashion designers to gain insight on what makes fashion sustainable and purposeful for today’s consumers. They discovered the "PHYGITAL," where physical space and digital technologies meet in the fashion show of the future. In partnership with Lynn’s College of Communication and Design, fashion and retail students used digital mapping, BEEM holograms and new virtual techniques to present ‘Surreal.’
Check out, Surreal, The Virtual Fashion Show Journal. This is the first ever fashion style magazine to accompany a virtual fashion show production. https://new.express.adobe.com/page/gzWn5vRuGh5Vl/
