The students appeared on the runaway in items and objects made by them.
The future fashion designers added their style to the sportswear, evening wear and casual clothes, applying their theoretical knowledge in practice.

Students unite around a common idea and objective and try their first steps in their speciality from the first year at the University,” said Anush Yeghiazaryan, Head of the Department of Design and Decorative and Applied Arts. She lauded the taste of the present generation, their perception of and attitude towards beauty and their earnest desire for beauty.
Lecturers Marine Vanyan and Hripsime Saroyan added that the joint fashion show was a good opportunity for the beginners to reveal and correct their shortcomings and faults, considering the fact that some of the students already have a more professional attitude towards modeling.

Elina has already participated in various runway shows. She is convinced that student shows are the best way of displaying students’ first works to public. “The conditions created for our speciality at the Pedagogical University enable us to turn our ideas into reality on the spot,” she said.
