ASU fashion students take their education into their own hands
Style Line Magazine is an ASU club focused on allowing ASU students to fully immerse themselves in the fashion industry while earning their degree. Event Producer Allie Woodard planned their most recent launch party, "Symphony of Style," in hopes of bringing together members of the magazine with the local fashion community. The event not only served as a launch party for their sixth issue, but also provided an opportunity for student designers to create collections and models to practice their runway skills in front of an audience.
This map features all of the places mentioned in the article, as well as some insight as to where the fashion students go to school and acquire fabrics/garments for their stylings.
