On March 11, the Cornell Fashion Collective hosted their 39th annual fashion show, capping off a week of various fashion-related events. However, the creation of the runway garment is a craft of its own, requiring both fiber science and apparel design knowledge and application.
Students on the board of the Cornell Fashion Collective discuss behind-the-scenes preparation of their upcoming show.
Besides being a student, some Cornellians also model on the side for the Cornell Store and the Cornell Fashion Collective.

From her ruby-red lips down, Riley Kilgariff ’16 makes her interest in fashion clear without saying a word. Throughout her years of study in Cornell’s Fiber Science and Apparel Design (FSAD) program, Kilgariff has exhibited her collections alongside those of other FSAD students in the Cornell Fashion Collective’s annual runway shows. This Saturday, she will once again display her collection — comprised largely of dresses and jackets —alongside the work of her peers in Barton Hall. The Sun had a chance to speak with Riley outside Libe Café, where she explained her interest in fashion, explicated her philosophy on design and gave insight into the program from which she’ll soon graduate. The Sun: So how did you become interested in fashion design?
