Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Design and Merchandising department dedicates its efforts to creating an exceptional and real-world environment for our students. At the heart of our department is the annual Euphoria Fashion Show, a high-energy and electrifying runway show featuring extraordinary garments meticulously designed and crafted by our talented sophomore, junior, and senior students specializing in fashion design and technology. This event is brought to life through the dedicated efforts of 10 DM students enrolled in the fashion show production class, under the guidance of Professor Yanan Yu.
In this unique class, students gain firsthand experience in the intricate process of planning and executing a high-profile event. Their responsibilities span from selecting suitable venues, creating the VIP reception, and curating music to devising strategic marketing campaigns and crafting detailed event programs. The entire journey provides these students with a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of fashion show production.
Seventeen years ago, our journey began within the confined hallways of our department, showcasing the work of senior designers. Over time, we evolved and expanded, initially setting up a tent outdoors. However, battling the unpredictable Oklahoma weather of wind, rain, and storms proved less than ideal. Our quest for the perfect venue led us through various locations until we finally found a home at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center, where we will proudly host this year's 14th Euphoria Fashion Show.
The term 'Euphoria' encapsulates the essence of our show—an exhilarating state of intense excitement and happiness. This annual event not only brings joy to our students, faculty, and the public but also serves as a transformative experience for our aspiring professionals. However, to ensure the continued success of this high-profile event, we rely on sponsorship donations to provide the financial support necessary for its production.
Our goal this year is to raise $8,000 to aid in the various aspects of production, and we sincerely appreciate any donation you can contribute. Your generosity will play a crucial role in helping us produce the most exceptional Euphoria Fashion Show yet, giving our students a true-to-life experience while allowing us to continue nurturing and showcasing their talents as they transition into the world of fashion professionals.
