Fashion Design at MIT

Fashion Design at MIT Fashion is, evidently, alive and thriving at MIT (were not just a bunch of nerds who always wear hoodies and jeans!). Tonight, Kappa Alpha Theta hosted their annual fashion show, Katwalk, featuring clothing from both Boston professionals as well as MIT student (and alumni) designers. Now, fashion shows are amazing things if youre a photographer looking to become a better photographer, so I have a bunch of pictures for you guys! Also make sure to check out all the designers, because theyre all pretty awesome.

These are just my favorite photos and/or outfits from the fashion show. Im personally a big fan of the red-grey-black color scheme, so this outfit from Sooki really caught my attention. And who doesnt love polka dots? Summery beach dresses from Romp Apparel made it feelvery brieflywarm in Boston again. The MIT Logarhythms brought out their Sunday best to perform between showings. This is, of course, talking about a group that usually performs in snuggies and Waldo costumes (check them out at one of their previous performances here).   These girls are breaking it down in e d i t by Samantha D., MIT Class of 2015, a series that takes cheap or old clothing from thrift stores and edits them to make something fresh. Check out her fashion Tumblr:  dressmewoman.tumblr.com/   These marvelous pieces are from South Boston fashion line Habit. Againloving the black and red color scheme. Free People mixed it up with models that blew glitter into the crowd. Glitter. You cant not like glitter.   Free People also mixed it up with these really relaxed, striking-yet-casual outfits. Kind ofhippie-hipster? I like it. Changing it up a little, we had a few pieces to preview the upcoming MIT Trashion Show on December 6featuring sustainable fashion made out of recycled goods. Admittedly, this is pretty classy for a vest made out oflooks like cardstock and magazine pages? Taking another break from fashion, MITs competitive hip-hop dance team RiDONKulous came out fists high and feet stomping. Theyre all crazy good dancersthats about all I can say about them because its something you have to see for yourself.   Janji makes running apparel with designs inspired by countries around the world, including Kenya, Haiti, Tanzania, Peru, Rwanda, Bangladesh, and our own United States. Heres the cool partproceeds from clothing sales are actually donated to help that country in some area relating to water or malnutrition.     These sassy outfits come out of LF. If theres one thing I love, its an outfit with an attitude. I suppose that about wraps it up for this week! See you next time, Allan
