Student Fashion Spotlight: Alie Bauer ’13

Arielle Cruz  —  Apr 26, 2013

It all comes down to this. After fourteen weeks, six spotlights and a whole lot of late nights, the Cornell Fashion Collective seniors are ready to show off their signature designs at their Spring Fashion Show tomorrow night at Barton Hall. The collective will showcase the talents of CFC fashion designers in a full-on, lights shining, music blaring, models strutting fashion show. And no, their lives are not like Project Runway.

Both times I left studio at T07 to talk to the women of CFC, I left in a markedly better mood than when I came. The place is almost infectious that way. Tomorrow, the ladies and gentleman of CFC will bring their spark, their flare and the world of T07 to you. So, without further ado, The Cornell Daily Sun presents the last three designers in our Fashion Spotlight series.

Totally Nothing to Recall

Gina Cargas  —  Aug 10, 2012

Prometheus Loses Its Fire
