Fashion Redux: 90 Years of Fashion is a current exhibit presented by San Diego Mesa College and the San Diego History Center. This annual collaboration runs March 3\u2013June 29. The History Center features historical garments from its extensive textile collection in addition to the historically inspired garments created by Mesa College fashion students. The exhibit demonstrates 90 years of fashion from the History Center\u2019s textile collection.<\/p>\n Demonstrations scheduled with students from Mesa College present various techniques such as draping, millinery and hat making, electronics, felting, hand patterning and computer pattern design. Interactive exhibits with fabric touch boards are set up so attendees can touch and feel the fabrics. This year marks the seventh annual Fashion Redux. Students inspired by the historic garments found in the History Center are able to then create a design from their inspiration.<\/p>\n The walls of this exhibit are filled with large mural images of fashion photographer Charlie Schneider. They are from photo shoots in the \u201950s and \u201960s. Additional photos are from a photo shoot with the top four student designers and were taken by fine art photographer Siobhan Gazur.<\/p>\n This exciting exhibit will have an annual finale party, the Fashion Redux Grand Reveal. This special evening features a reception, fashion show of student designs, lecture by fashion professor Susan Lazear, and the announcement of the winner. All attendees will be given the opportunity to vote for the People\u2019s Choice Award. The Grand Reveal is Thursday, April 26, from 6\u20138:30 p.m. To attend this grand finale, visit: bit.ly\/2GuQSO5<\/a><\/p>\n MIMI Academy presented the second annual graduation and release of the AK Beauty & Fashion Magazine at the Encore Hall downtown on March 4.
