SMU students will present the University’s first Fashion Week, March 26-30, 2012, bringing fashion journalists, bloggers and designers to campus. Fashion media students at Meadows School of the Arts and members of the Cox School of Business Retail Club have combined forces to create the weeklong on-campus event featuring panel discussions with fashion industry professionals and a runway fashion show.
All events are free and open to the public. Seating, however, is limited so arrive early.
