SAIC Fashion Show 2009The School of the Art Institute of Chicago will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its annual Fashion Show on April 23 and 24 , in the School's recently opened and acclaimed Sullivan Galleries (entrance for these events at 36 S. Wabash Avenue).
For the first time in its storied history, the Fashion Show will be presented within the installed space of SAIC's annual Graduate Exhibition, moving the "runway" away from the catwalk and into the Galleries' open spaces, and creating a vibrant relationship between the work of the School's graduating artists and designers and fashion students.
Over 200 innovative garments will be showcased during this multimedia celebration of creative clothing and contemporary art, which will also feature specially commissioned works by students and faculty from the School's Performance department.
