The Cutting Edge Fiesta Fashion Show
University of the Incarnate Word’s Fashion Department holds its annual Cutting Edge Fiesta Fashion Show in April during Fiesta week. The Cutting Edge is an official Fiesta event which has grown in popularity each year, showcasing rising stars of the fashion industry.
The annual event is entirely produced by students and features the work student designers. Each designer produces a collection of between six to eight garments, with each collection centered on an individual theme selected by the student and ranging from a season, to a color or market segment. Each design is entirely designed and constructed by the student.
Students coordinate every aspect of the event, a detail unique to the UIW show. Other universities with fashion programs hold small shows or participate in an annual agency produced show in Dallas, but no other university presents a large scale event entirely produced by students. From sound and lighting to staging and contracting professional models, UIW students experience every angle of planning a large event.
