Tulane School of Architecture is renowned worldwide for the talented architects it educates.
So it was of course a visual treat on May 2 when the school hosted its second annual Design Showcase + Fashion Show at the university’s Kendall Cram Lecture Hall in the Lavin-Bernick Center.
The event featured studio work from eight design courses and over 100 students. Designs included prints pinned up, lighting and seating prototypes on display and digital work on screen.
The fashion show was about using textiles and garments in new and repurposed ways. Textiles included bamboo fiber, denim, deadstock fabrics, recycled glass, recycled plastics and unused Mardi Gras costumes.
Event co-chairs were Tiffany Lin, Meghan Saas, Hannah Berryhill, Luz Briceno (who coordinated the fashion show) and School of Architecture Dean Iñaki Alday.
Fun Fact: Richardson Memorial Hall, the historic home of the Tulane School of Architecture, is undergoing a renovation through Tulane Capital Projects leading project partners Trapolin-Peer Architects and Broadmoor LLC Construction. Scheduled completion is some time in 2025.
