School of Fashion

Kent State University’s School of Fashion previewed some of the designs created by its senior students for the 2023 Kent State Fashion Show. The student designers and their models showcased what attendees of this year’s fashion show will see walking down the runway.

Lauren Copeland, Ph.D., assistant professor at Kent State’s School of Fashion, discusses how consumers can obtain designer clothing at discount prices and what to look for when purchasing secondhand apparel.

"Head to Toe" at the Kent State Museum includes three exhibitions. 

Omar Salam, founder and creative director of the global fashion house SUKEINA, will be making a special trip from the runway to Kent State University’s Rockwell Hall as Salam has been named the 2023 inductee of the university’s School of Fashion Hall of Fame.

"Heads Up! Hats" is one of three exhibits that make up the "Head to Toe" exhibition at the Kent State University Museum. The other exhibits in the trilogy are "It's a Wrap! Coats" and "Stepping Out! Shoes." 

Congratulations to professor J. Kim Vick, Ph.D. on her receipt of Kent State University's 2022 Outstanding Research and Scholarship Award for her exceptional contribution to scholarship and research.
