The Ithaca Fashion Show, now in its 25th year, is the Cornell Design League's premiere show in the Ithaca area. The show has grown from its humble beginnings into a full-fledged fashion show featuring over 60 designers and and in past years has utilized everything from from break dancers to pyrotechnics in a fashion spectacular that shouldn't be missed!
The annual fashion show began when just two designers and an ambitious group of students, led by advisor Anita Racine, worked together to form the fashion show which has been growing in both size and scope for the past 25 years. Students from many fields, not just fashion, come together to create the show. This year, more than 3,000 people came to the fashion show at which more than 60 student designers featured 200 original ensembles on 170 live student models.
