UW-Stout's annual fashion extravaganza, the imaginative Fashion Without Fabric student show, returned to campus on Saturday, April 12. This year's theme, "Welcome to Phenomonie!," sparked an incredibly diverse array of sculptured, phenomena-inspired costumes by over 250 students in 3D design classes. Students took to the catwalk to model each costume, featuring pieces inspired by photosynthesis to black holes, electricity, pollution, and more. 

To conclude the evening, $1,000 scholarships were awarded to students Astrid Scharff and Celia Furhman. Other winners – chosen by a panel of judges and detailed here – and honorable mentions spotlighted students' artistry and innovation. 

If you missed this year's Fashion Without Fabric show, mark your calendar for the WEAR Fashion Show: at 4pm on Saturday, May 3, the high fashion spring showcase features work by fashion design and development students.
