FIDM.....FIDM Red Dress 2019--FIDM partners with American Heart Association to Create Designs

  Red Dress Fab--Model Rina Karuna wearing designs from FIDM students for the FIDM Red Dress 2019 in partnership with the American Heart Association--FIDM Los Angeles


Each year, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM partners with the American Heart Association to have a select group of students to create pieces in honor of Go Red For Women . This year's students created dresses in various fabrics, ranging from velvet, satin, lace and neoprene. The students--hand-picked from various programs, including the Fashion Design major--worked on each dress for an entire quarter (10 weeks). The finished dress was then revealed in a presentation last week at the FIDM Los Angeles campus. As Co-Chair of the FIDM Fashion Design department, I was happy enough to witness the presentation. Here are photos form the event:
