The Cornell Fashion Collective proudly presents its 42nd Annual Spring Runway Show.
Since its founding in 1984 as the Cornell Design League, CFC has fostered creativity and innovation, providing students with the opportunity to explore and redefine fashion. As a fully student-run organization, we take pride in orchestrating a professional-grade runway show each spring.
Event Details:
This year’s show was held on Saturday, March 21, in Barton Hall, featuring 40 designers across all four levels with over 70 looks. Level One explored the theme “Grayscale,” beginning with white designs, gradually transitioning to black as the show progressed. By working within a limited color palette, the collection placed greater emphasis on texture, form, and silhouette. Level Two presented “Deus ex Machina,” meaning “God from the Machine,” a theme that explored the dualities between creator and creation, and nature and technology.
