The Fashion Event | College of Human Sciences

The Fashion Event invites audiences to experience exceptional fashion and innovative apparel design at Auburn University’s premier student fashion showcase. The event features original creations by the next generation of fashion designers and merchandisers.

Organized by the Department of Consumer and Design Sciences (CADS) and the Apparel Merchandising and Design Association (AMDA), The Fashion Event is recognized as one of the leading college-level fashion productions in the nation. Every garment presented is designed, created, and styled by students, showcasing the creativity and innovation that contribute to the Apparel Merchandising and Design programs’ continued recognition as the #1 Public Fashion Design School in the South and the #2 Public Fashion Merchandising School in the South (2024).

Held each spring, this highly anticipated student-led fashion production presents a wide range of CADS student work, including visual merchandising displays, e-portfolio exhibitions, creative scholarship design exhibitions, visual fashion presentations, and a full runway show.

Since its founding in 2011, the event has grown from a small production to a signature creative platform that connects students with industry professionals through internships, networking opportunities, andcareer developments. All runway collections are featured in the Fashion Event Look Book, a coffee-table style publication that highlights the designers, their collections, and the inspiration behind the year’s theme.
