Photo gallery: Vital creations snag awards at 2022 AMDT Fashion Show

Showcasing dozens of collections themed around life, renewal, and change, students in the Department of Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles presented the 39th annual WSU Fashion Show to a live audience, April 1 at Beasley Coliseum.

The show featured 14 senior designers from the Class of 2022, junior and sophomore class-created designs, as well as fashions by one 2021 senior who was not able to show works in last year’s virtual event.

Titled “Vitality,” the fashion show was organized by an all-AMDT student production class, and featured roughly 50 models recruited from the community and trained to walk on the runway.

Senior collections explored dozens of ideas: personality, exuberance, elegance, breaking limits, utility, humanity, mental health, Pacific Northwest trails, and the colors of the dawn.

Nine seniors won show awards for their creations:

  • Rising Star Award: Angelique Attalah
  • Social Awareness Award: Ciara MacDonald
  • Craftsmanship Award: Stone Duran
  • Diversity Award: Sydney Jensen
  • Visual Impact: Joseline Davila
  • Most Innovative Designer and Department Chair’s Choice Award: Keyondra White
  • Cutting Edge Award and Associate Dean’s Choice Award: Gene Brown
  • Most Marketable Collection and Dean’s Choice Award: Colby Van Dyk
  • Mollie Pepper Family Best of Show Award: Grace Skelton
