Runway Recap: California College of the Arts Spring Fashion Show

The California College of the Arts Spring Fashion Show sent a diverse grouping of apparel by its student talents down the runway on a mid-May Friday evening. Each year, the show stands out for presenting fashion that showcases students’ arts-minded, creative approaches to traditional structure, materials and styling. This year was no exception. Read on to see what went down the runway.

The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events May 9-15

A look by CCA alum Laura Schmits shown during the 2010 fashion show.

It’s a quieter week in the local, independent fashion landscape than we’ve seen lately, so good thing the events on the horizon are promising ones. For the detes, we turn to the SF Indie Fashion Calendar, where you’ll find a solution for those in need of summer fashion internships, a longtime local designer’s spring collection viewing party and another annual student fashion show.

  • Interested getting more involved in the local fashion community, participating in upcoming shows or finding a fashion internship in San Francisco? Wednesday’s Portfolio Night and Open Calls at Pigment Cosmetics is a meetup for industry folks and the organizers behind such events as the upcoming Beauty Expo and San Francisco Fashion Week. They’ll be reviewing portfolios, talking to potential interns and having an open call for talent in a casual, workshop-like setting.
  • Continuing the spring student fashion show season, Friday brings the annual California College of the Arts Fashion Show, a runway event featuring the work of the school’s graduating seniors in an exhibition tent on the Eighth Street campus. Tickets, $30 and up.

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
