Thomas Jefferson University 2021 Fashion Show.
For decades, the senior fashion design majors at Jefferson capped off their college experience with a professionally produced fashion show complete with dozens of models, hundreds of guests, and industry representatives. It was a chance for students to both show off their hard work and make professional connections. When the limitations imposed by COVID restrictions made a traditional show impossible, we suggested turning to video as an alternative.
The result was an hour-long video fashion show comprising 21 individual designer profiles. This modular structure not only allowed Jefferson’s admissions and marketing teams to custom tailor the piece for specific audiences (it can easily be condensed or expanded by adding or removing profiles based on criteria such as “Superstars” or “First Generation College Graduates” or “International Students”), but it also gave each graduating senior their own video portfolio that could be shared with family, friends, and most importantly, potential employers.
