The group’s 40th spring runway show showcased student creations\u2014with a guest modeling appearance by the VP for campus life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each spring semester, Barton Hall becomes East Hill’s answer to Manhattan, Paris, and Milan as student models walk the runway in attire designed by their peers. And this year’s Cornell Fashion Collective<\/a> Runway Show was a milestone: the group’s 40th such event<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held in early March, it featured a wide variety of styles, from a line inspired by athletic gear (with models wearing helmets and toting lacrosse sticks) to formalwear worthy of Oscar night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event’s celebrity guest: Ryan Lombardi<\/a>, vice president for Student & Campus Life, who sported a futuristic gray ensemble reminiscent of a sci-fi movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis truly was the Cornell community at its best\u2014providing an opportunity for students to use what they\u2019ve learned and apply it beyond the classroom,” Lombardi says. “And I got to wear some pretty cool clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a peek at some of the designs on display, plus some of the action behind the scenes\u2014and be sure to check out this video<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
