Each spring, the iconic East Hill building usually devoted to athletics and ROTC is transformed into a fashion mecca, as student designers showcase their work\u2014with their peers serving as models. The 2026 Cornell Fashion Collective<\/a>\u2019s Spring Runway Show was\u2014as always\u2014a standing-room-only affair, as supporters packed Barton Hall to view the dozens of creative ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 42nd annual show<\/a>, held on a Saturday night in mid-March, featured the work of 42 students, including full collections by nine seniors. Their inspirations ranged from classic children’s books like Where the Wild Things Are<\/em> to traditional Korean neighborhoods to the pigeons of NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a photographic look at the event, both on the runway and behind the scenes. A short video can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
