Fashion Houston five: Moving Fashion Forward with The Art Institutes
November 18, 2014
From interns, to designers, to scholarships, The Art Institute is a proud sponsor, partner and beneficiary of Audi Fashion Houston five set to occur November 18 through 21 at the Wortham Theater Center.
“Fashion Houston five is the perfect example of how we at The Art Institute of Houston like to engage with the community,” said Susanne Behrens, president of The Art Institute of Houston. “Our students are getting real-world experience in fashion serving as interns backstage. They are busy dressing models, steaming garments, assisting with production and coordination, and helping to mitigate the exciting mayhem that can occur backstage at any fashion show.”
The Art Institute of Houston also has four designers sashaying their skills on the runway. There are three graduates of the Fashion Design bachelor’s degree program: Brecchia Demartini, Lee Yates and Paola Contreras; and one current student in the Fashion Retail & Marketing program, Clarence Lee.
“We are really taking it full-cycle,” said Jared Lang, founder of Fashion Houston. “We’re engaging The Art Institute of Houston’s students, showcasing graduate and student fashion skills, and then we’re providing scholarships from our proceeds to benefit two well-deserving students to continue to fuel their dreams.”
