In February, graduating seniors from the U’s apparel design program brought Fashion Week to Minnesota, displaying their original collections in a runway show. The students spent nearly two years developing the pieces featured in e.motion, the College of Design’s 51st annual event. Here are pieces that were modeled during the show and the student designers with their lines.
