AVANT GARDEN Fashion Event 2019

Every spring the Consumer and Design Sciences Department and Apparel Merchandising and Design Association host the annual Auburn fashion event.

This year I had the honor to be in the Fashion Event Planning class and serve on the Public Relations committee. As a class we came up with the theme "AVANT GARDEN" and there are five other committees including decorations, media, creative, modeling and styling. We all work an entire year starting in August to plan the event that is in April.

My parents came all the way from Dallas to see the show! Of course I had to dress to the theme in this Alice and Olivia dress with my red Lewit sandals!

I served on the PR committee with Morgan and Madie! It was so fun to work with them!

I was also a volunteer head for the indoor ushers and ticket sales/greeter volunteers! The event truly would of not happened without all of our hardworking volunteers!

I was also in the visual merchandising class that makes the vignettes that are judged and displayed at the event! One of our duties on the PR committee was to find sponsors to let students borrow merchandise and help pay for the display that the students build! My group was assigned Dillard's we went to the store in Auburn to pick out the merchandise and planned out the vignette!

My friend Shannon served on the Media committee and made all the amazing promo and capstone videos that display the senior design student's work!

I am sadly not going to be able to help plan and attend the event in Spring of 2020. I will be studying abroad in Italy! I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity this spring and hope to be in event planning class senior year! I can't wait to hear what theme the class picks next year! My committees idea that we pitched was a beach/resort theme inspired by the Chanel beach runway show from Paris fashion week this past spring. The name we came up with was "Sea Escape."
