SCAD STUDENT DESIGNS SHINE BRIGHT!
Savannah College of Art and Design is known around the world as a place where budding creatives of all stripes get a strong foundation. Up-and-coming fashion designers learn from world-class professors, many of them successful designers in their own rights, and cultivate the technical skills to bring their ideas to life.
Here, we showcase the work of eight 2024 graduates who produced envelope-pushing runway collections. The points of view are as different as the students themselves, but one thing is clear: These creatives are going places.
