New fashions hit the stage in ‘Elements’ show April 26 and 27April 21, 2001Judy Holmesjlholmes@syr.edu

The Fashion Association of Design Students in Syracuse University’s College for Human Development will present “Elements,” the 2001 installment of its annual fashion show, at 12:30 p.m. April 26 and 7:30 p.m. April 27 in the Schine Student Center’s Goldstein Auditorium. Tickets for the matinee show are $5. Tickets for the evening show are $25 for reserved seating, $15 for balcony seating, and $10 for balcony seating for students and senior citizens. Tickets may be purchased at the Schine Box Office (443-4517). Tables can be reserved by calling 443-4635. The first half of the show will feature 120 pieces of original work from fashion design and textile majors ranging from freshmen to seniors. The students submitted their projects to a jury of fashion design faculty who made the final selections. “Those pieces meeting our program’s high standards of design and quality will be shown,” says Todd Conover, fashion design instructor in the College for Human Development. The second half of “Elements” will feature the collections of 18 seniors majoring in fashion design. Each student’s collection features six of his or her favorite pieces. The show is the capstone project for the seniors, resulting from work produced during their two-semester design class. “I’m definitely ready for this show to happen,” says senior fashion design major Vanessa Laub. Laub’s collection, “Exoskeleton,” which features avant-garde, outrageous club wear, will be the last to be shown. “I definitely feel the pressure of being the grand finale,” she says. Senior fashion design major Courtney Evors’ collection features prep meets punk designs. Evors developed the concept for her collection in August and began working on patterns in October. “My designs have classic lines with an edge,” she says. Evors is still finishing her collection, sewing one outfit a week. “Since my freshman year, my senior fashion show has been in the back of my mind. Now, this is my collection, my models, and my music. I am very excited.” The primary purpose of the fashion show is to showcase the students’ hard work, Conover says. The fashion design major requires a three-hour studio class two times a week, and much additional out-of-class work. The students create their own patterns, make their muslins, and sew their own final fabric designs. Evors is anxious to view her collection from the audience. “Everything looks different on the runway, so I went all out with my collection,” she says. Evors has been interested in fashion since she was young, sketching dresses in her notebooks. Her outlook as a fashion designer is that “you can’t follow trends, you must set them.”
