If you’re aware of what’s going on in the field of fashion design, then you’ve probably heard of the Academy of Art University. This particular school dates back to the early 1900s, and it was founded by Richard S. Stephens. Student galleries, exhibits, student housing and technologically advanced facilities can be found on its grand campus. Some of its students have worked on blockbuster hits like “Get Out,” “Mad Max Fury Road,” “The Revenant,” “Sully,” and “Bridge of Spies.” Academy of Art University has played a role in developing some of today’s leading celebrity personnel, including:
- Lauren Conrad (actress)
- Raven Symone (actress)
- Brandon Kee (project runway)
- Rick Baker (makeup artist)
- Asencio (figurative painter)
- And many others
The Academy of Art University’s School of Fashion is state-of-the-art. This program uses advanced technologies, is taught by teachers who have a thorough history in the subject and prepares students for a career in fashion design. Some of AAU’s fashion design students has participated at New York Fashion Week. This just so happens to be one of the most prestigious fashion events in society today. This week-long affair plays host to thousands of spectators, but many of its contestants come from foreign nations. New York Fashion Week is basically the cream of the crop when it comes to fashion shows.
AAU was able to put together a number of fashion collections for the 2017 event. These individuals were BFA and MFA graduates of AAU. This collection helped the school in making its 21st appearance. That’s right! Academy of Art University has made it to a mainstream level. “AAU has become a huge powerhouse in the fashion world,” said Stephan Rabimov, the President of DEPESHA. This only scratches the surface of what this flamboyant school has brought to the table, but it’s looking to continue its dominance in the coming years.
