The 16th Annual Cornell Design League Show takes to the runway on April 15, 2000. Viewers will be informed, entertained, and amazed by the creative work of emerging fashion designers, all students enrolled at Cornell. Many of the League members are pursuing a major in TXA, but members come from all across campus. For students to mount a show of their work is not unusual, but the Cornell Design League is highly unusual.
All members join and participate voluntarily.
They receive no credit for their work and participation is not a requirement of any course. In addition, the show has remained unjuried and noncompetitive. Since its informal beginning with a handful of design students sharing their fashions for fun, the show has grown into a highly anticipated, professional event. Last year, the two sold-out performances featured the works of 30 student designers, modeled by more than 100 volunteers. Many designers exhibited full lines.
