Fashion Without Fabric is a yearly show at UW-Stout unlike any other, where the university’s art and design students showcase unique fashion creations built from creative materials. As the name implies, this means anything but traditional fabric. The show, which was held April 9, was reimagined this year. Instead of being a traditional runway show as in the past, participants toured through UW-Stout’s Great Hall and the ballrooms to witness students’ designs.
