FIDM DEBUT.....FIDM DEBUT 2021 RUNWAY SHOW: The Photo Recap!

 FIDM DEBUT 2021--Fashions from the FIDM DEBUT 2021 Runway Show featuring designs from the FIDM Advanced Fashion Design Graduates Class of 2021 (L to R) Dustin Argumedo, Bella Madden, Fabian Renteria, Ruby Cai, Sofia Masuda--Cooper Building Design Space Los Angeles

This past July, we had the great privilege of continuing the annual tradition at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising FIDM of producing the FIDM DEBUT Show. This is the annual runway show which showcases the Designs from the Advanced Fashion Design graduates at FIDM. It is like a Graduate Fashion Show showing "The Best of the Best" in the Future of Fashion. As Co-Chairs of the FIDM Fashion Design and Advanced Fashion Design programs, David and I were honored to have been the "Creative Whisperers" of the show and help guide with the vision and look of the production.

The show was directed by Gene Lebrock, Executive Director of FIDM Productions, and produced and choreographed by Susan Koziak and her amazing team at Koziak Productions. After all the editing and intense behind-the-scenes production work were done, the show was then live-streamed on YouTube in August for everyone to see! (Video at the end of this post!)
