The Silver Needle Fashion Show is held every spring to showcase the talents of our student designers. Two shows are produced with a total attendance of over 1300 people. The evening show is preceded by a cocktail reception and followed by a presentation of awards and scholarships.
Scholarships are provided by: Liz Claiborne, Cutty Sark, Young Menswear Association, 24 Seven, John Morrissey, Dominique Pino-Santiago and the Dutchess County Home Bureau.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the show is that it is wholly produced by students and faculty of the Fashion Program. Members of the Fashion Show Production class organize committees dealing with every facet of the show from invitations to choreography and marketing. They also marshal a cast of volunteers and coordinate their efforts at the event. The Silver Needle Fashion Show is the highlight of the year for the Fashion Program and an exceptional learning experience for everyone involved.
