Avant GardeN - 2008 CSU Student Apparel Design Show



"Avant GardeN: Where Couture is Cultivated" is the presentation of twenty-five original apparel lines created by students in the Apparel Design and Production concentration in the Department of Design & Merchandising, Colorado State University, Fort Collins. From this fashion-forward garden, couture design will bloom.

My wife, Connie, took me for that event on April 1 in the Lory Student Center Main Ballroom on the CSU campus . I have never photographed a fashion show before. Well, I have never been to one before. So, I really didn't know what to expect. Of course, we arrived pretty late and I didn't have a chance to look around.

I just put my Canon EOS 40D camera (set with ISO 600) with EF 70-200 f2.8L lens on a monopod and managed to take position at the end of a catwalk. I had a view partially obstructed by some decoration tree and quite challenging light on the stage but I enjoyed the experience. I could even select a few usable pictures from 6 Gb I shot. Anyway, I am looking forward to the next fashion show.
