2/2 - BACKSTAGE PASS: University of Minnesota Senior Fashion Show

The Minneapoline has the inside scoop on who’s going to be shaking up the Minneapolis fashion scene. These designers are the best of their class and, with ‘Intro to Biology’ long behind them, they’re going to be ripping this city to shreds. There’s something for everyone in this post, spandex-haters, however, may have to avert their eyes from the sparkling plastic sheen that is to come.

I love how minimalist and modest this piece by Wesley Martin is while still not ignoring personality.

Wedding gown by Kira Schlepp. I'm not too found of formal wedding gowns myself, but I fell in love with this dress when I saw the asymmetry, irregular layers, and knit elements peaking out. The fabric choice, color, and construction were perfect.
