Why the CCAD Fashion Show ROCKED.

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the 2015 CCAD Fashion Show AKA the best fashion show in Columbus.

ccad-fashion-show-2015-columbus-ohioLet me start by sharing that 100% of the proceeds go to the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD), including funding for student scholarships which basically aides the artistic talent in our city.

ccad-fashion-show-2015-columbus-ohioThe energy and excitement was on another level. I knew it was going to be an outstanding event when I saw the large runway and then spotted local celebrity Mayor Coleman (see if you can spot him, below) being led to his front row seat. Oh, and the music was really amazing too.

Linh Tran’s collection was memorable with bright colors and “was inspired by a town in Mexico.” I also loved Derek Fergusson who described his collection as a “modern day Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

The audience’s fashion was on point. I felt like I constantly wanted to ask other women who made their ensemble. Oh and I was even asked a time or two, which I obviously found super flattering. I need to also mention the after party was on point – a chic + stylish event all in itself, complete with swanky lighting, excellent food and drinks, and a catchy DJ.

A fabulous night of fashion. If you’ve never been to the CCAD Fashion Show or any fashion show really… and you love fashion… I highly suggest you look into going next year! You won’t regret it!
