“L’Art de la Mode is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn what it takes to put together a fashion show. With garments created by fashion design students and a runway show completely produced by fashion marketing students, it provides students with a first-hand look at the interdependency that happens in the fashion industry.” – Lex Sanderson, the Fashion Director at The Art Institute of California – Hollywood.
