A colorful range of student creativity came to the Bentley Reserve last week for The Arts of Fashion’s Uniquely Untrendy fashion show. Hosted by the Art Institute of California, an international selection of student design talent presented looks as part of a competition for a host of scholarship and internship awards sponsored by the non-profit Arts of Fashion Foundation.
The impressive show delivered a broad range of young, creative talent. Read on for more on the standout pieces that turned our heads and the winners of this prestigious international annual student fashion competition:
