About this Event

Join us on May 1 for the annual runway presentation featuring the Senior Capstone collections of SAIC’s Fashion Design students.


Arrive in the middle of it…


This year’s showcase, In Media Res, draws inspiration from the literary device of starting a story in the middle of the action. Rather than a traditional introduction, the runway presents the senior Capstone collections as an ongoing dialogue—where months of work meet a singular, transformative moment. The runway show will take place at 167 N Green St. in Fulton Market.


Join us for a live runway presentation.



Evening Show:

167 N. Green St.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

The show begins at 7:00 p.m.


Public transportation, taxi, and rideshare are encouraged. Valet parking is available through The Oakville Grill & Cellar for a charge, and metered street parking is also available. However you arrive, seats are first come, first serve, so we encourage you to arrive early. Please see the image below for entrance and parking information.


Space is limited, and registration is required. This event is free, and reservations are non-transferable. This presentation of emerging talent is made possible through the support of Good Chaos and the Richard H. Driehaus Museum.


Following the presentation, we invite you to stay for a reception to celebrate the graduating class immediately following the runway presentation at 8:00 p.m.
