For the capstone projects of the spring 2024 Fashion Design AAS program, students were tasked with creating garments using only denim fabric. As a result, the exhibition focuses on simple forms and techniques, encouraging innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship. Included are works selected for Critic Awards by industry mentors who have worked alongside students throughout the semester.
Denim’s appeal is universal. From day to night, from workwear to runway, denim transcends gender, age, and class. Its durability has made it an essential part of our everyday life. Denim Divine is a tribute to this denim’s timeless appeal and enduring influence.
