California College of the Arts presentsFashion Experience 2018
SOMArts - 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103Friday, May 11 7-10pm
This May, the CCA Fashion Experience 2018 will debut eleven professionally juried thesis collections from graduating students in the school’s fashion design program. The students will present their work through both fashion show and for the first time installations that frame their collections with artistic vignettes and speak directly to their design narrative. Utilizing street-cast models and professional models, the show will reflect the diversity of the Bay Area as well as global contributions to fashion.
The free and public event will kick off with a presentation of the collections and will then open up into individual showcases with the designers and their models. Audiences will also be invited to experience and interact with the student installations—providing deeper engagement with both the designers’ collections and their process.
Fashion Experience is a part of a series of events and exhibitions organized by the California College of the Arts to celebrate the work of its graduating students across all disciplines from May 10 through 13. The series features the school’s annual Commencement Exhibition - an expansive and interdisciplinary showcase of work by graduating students across all disciplines on the college’s San Francisco campus, as well as additional exhibitions and events held at locations in the surrounding neighborhoods.

About California College of the Arts
Founded in 1907, California College of the Arts (CCA) educates students to shape culture and society through the practice and critical study of art, architecture, design, and writing. Benefitting from its San Francisco Bay Area location, the college prepares students for lifelong creative work by cultivating innovation, community engagement, and social and environmental responsibility.
CCA offers a rich curriculum of 22 undergraduate and 11 graduate programs in art, design, architecture, and writing taught by a faculty of expert practitioners, and attracts promising students from across the United States and from 55 countries around the world. Graduates are highly sought-after by companies such as Pixar/Disney, Apple, Intel, Facebook, Gensler, Google, IDEO, Autodesk, Mattel, and Nike, and many have launched their own successful businesses.
CCA is creating a new, expanded college campus at its current site in San Francisco that will open during the 2021–2022 academic year. Spearheaded by Studio Gang architects, the new campus design will be a model of sustainable construction and practice; will unite the college’s programs in art, crafts, design, architecture, and writing in one location to create new adjacencies and interactions; and will provide more student housing than ever before.
CCA Fashion Experience 2018 is produced by associate professor and chair of fashion design Lynda Grose and lecturer of fashion design Jarred Garza, and curated by professor of industrial design Mara Holt Skov.
