Seniors strut their stuff at the annual Techstyle fashion show.
Texas Tech University’s College of Human Sciences will host TechStyle, a fashion show and interior design exhibition, April 22 at the
Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Theater.
A reception and silent auction will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the fashion show
at 7 p.m.
TechStyle was created by the Department of Design to show off its students in style. The work
of 29 apparel design and manufacturing students and 34 interior design students will
be recognized at the event.
Cherif Amor, interim chair for the Department of Design, said TechStyle is a celebration
of design excellence where senior students from the apparel design and manufacturing
and interior design disciplines reveal their original and unique designs to the Lubbock
community.
“The fashion show and interior design portfolio displays constitute the culmination
of senior student design compositions and productions – a celebration not to miss,”
Amor said.
Pete Christy of NewsChannel 11’s “I Beat Pete” will make an appearance at the event
to model the jacket he created during his Project Runway challenge with students from
Texas Tech’s Department of Apparel, Design and Manufacturing in January.
Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased at the door or in the Department
of Design Office, located in Human Sciences Room 211.
The
Department of Design encompasses the fields of apparel design, interior design and environmental design
and strives to contribute to new knowledge in these areas through design education,
research and community outreach.
