The culmination of the student experience in Minneapolis College’s Apparel Technologies program is the spring fashion show, Thursday, May 9, at 7 p.m. This year’s show features more than 75 designs made by 18 graduating students, from initial designs to patterns, construction, and fittings. 

The work of past designers has set expectations high for a creative, dynamic, and outrageous experience.  The show, titled “BluePrint,” will take place in the Minneapolis College Technical Building Plaza and will also be livestreamed.

This is a time of year when new bicycles are wrapped with giant ribbons, placed under trees, or rolled out into the living rooms of unsuspecting recipients. An unanticipated part of the bargain for many gift givers is the assembly that can go along with gifting a bike.
