Berkeley Students Rock the FAST Runway

Students at the University of California-Berkeley staged a kickass runway event on Sunday night at the Fashion and Student Trends (FAST) fashion show.
SteelCloset.com reports that the show — put on by 15 student designers and 43 student models — was a smash success. The creative designs were rife with personal style and a whole lot of sartorial drama, a field day of texture and color. The clothes were so polished, it’s hard to believe these were just students at work!
Pictured above is a hemp dress by Emily Shea and Brian Nguyen. You can see more photos from the show here.
Correction: The designer is in fact Helen Hyon, not Emily Shea and Brian Nguyen. E.S. regrets the error!

The dress above is actually designed by Helen Hyon… not Emily Shea and Brian Nguyen…
