A Successful Weekend



All three FSsquared shows were a success! It was a wonderful weekend and made all the hard work and planning worth it.  The designers' pieces look phenomenal on the runway and the museum itself was transformed. The management team, committees, ushers and dressers helped make this show so memorable.  Thanks to all the people responsible for making this year's show the best yet!

Run-Throughs in the Museum

Before official dress rehearsals start, the models have to learn choreography and the timing of the show.  Since the show is in the museum, it requires even more attention to timing details than previous shows.

Rehearsal Week

This week is our last week before the Annual Fashion Show! In preparation for this weekend we have rehearsals in the museum every night this week. Everyone involved will become comfortable with the museum space and the models will rehearse choreography.  We are dealing with a very different space than previous years, so it is a learning experience for everyone involved.

 You can still get tickets for the Saturday Matinee Show! Don't miss out in seeing FSsquared for the first time in the Kent State Museum!

Catalog Photo Shoots

Since the fashion show will take place in the museum we decided to photograph the student designer's garments in the museum. The architecture was the perfect backdrop for the photo shoot. The contemporary clothing shined in the classic environment.

The Rockwell Hall atrium was transformed into a studio where we photographed the garments in front of a solid backdrop. Next step editing!

Preparing for the Catalog Shoot



Every year The Fashion School creates a catalog to correspond with the Annual Fashion Show.  The catalog showcases the senior's work and includes information about the collections, information about The Fashion School, and lists the names of the management team members. The finished catalog will be available for be purchased at the show.

The photo shoots will take place over the next couple weeks.  We just received the garments that will be photographed and the next step is organizing them and deciding how they will be shot.



We've been hard at work coming up with a theme and can't wait to see all the models styled and in front of the camera!

Floor Plans


This year the Fashion Show will take place in the Kent State University Museum. Because of this the seating and choreography is different then anything that we have done before.  Junior Co Producer, Jessica Ballas, planned seating as if it were a puzzle, arranging and adding seats where they would fit.  The galleries in the museum will house most of the seating and the guests will get an up close look at the garments as the models walk by.  This year's show will provide a more personal experience than past years where the models were up on a stage.

The Planning Process

The planning for the FsSquared fashion show is a process that takes a full semester of hard work.  The management team meets biweekly to discuss plans and share ideas.  As the show approaches even more time will be dedicated to making the production memorable and showing-off the talents of  the senior design students.
