Forget happily ever after
No White, a runway fashion show featuring U of M student designers, explored the dark side of fairy tales—villainy, murder, passion, deception.
At the preshow party, guests mingled with designers and judges while sipping a Poisoned Apple, the cocktail of the evening. Each designer was paired with a student model. Designers were encouraged to use thrift store finds and incorporate unconventional materials. No white was allowed in the designs!
Produced by the WAM Collective, the April 25 fashion show was as part of the creative celebration around Ballet Preljocaj's performance of Snow White, presented by Northrop. All photos by Travis Chantar, for the Weisman Art Museum.
