Couture dresses made from burlap sacks were a feature of the “Spring Into Fashion Show” at Sacramento State hosted by the Student Fashion Association Friday.The show featured more than 14 student designers who each created their own collections by hand.As the upbeat music played in the background, student models of every body type walked the runway to showcase the talent of the 14 chosen apparel marketing and design majors.
“I liked the fact that the show had a lot of different body types,” said Ausha McGee, sophomore sociology major. “Everyone was out there, not just size zeros.”One clothing line that stood out was “The Cubism Movement” by student designer and junior psychology major Noognuv Thao.Her line was the one featuring burlap sacks.“I chose burlap because I wanted something that wouldn’t distract from the original design,” Thao said. This line expressed my style; I like to create things that you wouldn’t really see every day.”
