This is always such a display of design talent and truly creative imaginations. Students were dressed in black, with many interpretations of formal wear. Catered by VCC Culinary Arts, the appetizers were beautifully presented and delicious. A lovely invitation to the general public and a grand welcome to the show and to a college that offers such a vast array of programs and services.
It took a while to get this dramatic showcase up in the main foyer. Each display featured its own setting for the jewelry and then under this was the designer's name, the story behind the pieces and a business card. The backdrop for the entire collection featured the blueprint or conceptual plan for each design. It is exciting to see the whole process from start to finish. Loved that we were able to meet the designers and talk to them about their work. Where are they going? Lots of plans including setting up businesses, collaborating with other designers, following the lights and action of TV, Film or Theatre, illustrating, ...and there are so many goals and bright futures ahead. Here are just a few highlights. If you want to see excellence, come to VCC!
