​
Innovation and vitality being core values, the Fashion Exposé strives to produce a show that brings aesthetic life to the collection of each designer. We believe that in order to truly appreciate the artistry of apparel design, a designer’s work must be fostered into an unparalleled experience that can be felt, heard, and seen by others. In producing a fashion showcase competition that values the work of each student like no other, AATS’ Fashion Exposé seeks to bring an awe-inspiring form of entertainment to NC State’s campus while empowering student designers to advance in their strives to succeed in the fashion industry.
