A Day of Design at Delta College

Overview

THURSDAY, MAY 1st: A DAY OF FASHION AND DESIGN AT DELTA COLLEGE –. A BRILLIANT SHOWCASE OF DESIGN TALENT!

On Thursday, May 1st, 2025, San Joaquin Delta College’s Fashion Program invites students, faculty, and the community to immerse themselves in a day dedicated to creativity and innovation. The day will highlight the incredible talents of students across multiple disciplines, from fashion and interior design to fine arts.

The day begins with Design on Display, an exhibition hosted by the Fashion and Interior Design Programs. From 10 am to 5 pm in Danner Hall, visitors can explore a variety of student work, including fashion design, fashion illustration, textile arts, marketing concepts, visual merchandising, cultural costume, and both residential and commercial interior design. Live demonstrations will be happening throughout the day which will bring these creative processes to life, showcasing textile weaving, fashion sketching, and cutting-edge 3D interior design technology.

Attendees can be a part of the exhibition by voting on the entrees of the Eco Design Challenge, where students were challenged to redefine and repurpose any everyday item or garment into innovative, sustainable creations—whether it's fashion, home décor, or beyond. Attendees will have the opportunity to cast their votes for the most innovative design, with the winning student receiving a $100 prize.

Throughout the day, starting at 11 am, the Arts, Library, and Multimedia Division will be holding more demonstrations and live performances in the Quad, including musical, vocal and dance performances, as well as bronze pouring and clay throwing of ceramics, as well as the opening reception for the Student Art Exhibit at 5 pm at the L.H. Horton Jr. Art Gallery.

Capping off this extraordinary day of design is the highly anticipated runway show in the outdoor quad area of campus, featuring an array of original collections by student designers and alumni of the Fashion Program, worn by over 50 models styled by professional hair and makeup artists. The show will be outdoors beginning at 7 pm and is free and open to the public!
