Drexel students compete yearly in national and international competitions garnering top prizes. Students accepted to the program can expect to take part in small studio classes that simulate the experience of industry professionals. Practicing designers critique student work at the end of each course. The education culminates with a personal collection designed and produced by each graduating student. The collections are shown at the Drexel Fashion Show, a high caliber, expert event that features professional models, a commentator from Saks Fifth Avenue, and receives prominent reviews by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
