SCAD

This past weekend I had the pleasure to go on a tour of the fashion department at Savannah College of Art and Design aka SCAD. For those of you that don't know SCAD has been getting international recognition in the past several years from Vogue and other highly accredited publications. Each year they have a graduate fashion show as well where they give a well known designer their Lifetime Achievement Award. Past recipients include Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Miuccia Prada,  and this year they will be presenting the award to American haute-couture designer Ralph Rucci. Although I haven't been able to get my hands on tickets for their runway show this coming Saturday I do plan on attending a public discussion that will be held between Ralph Rucci and Andre Leon Talley earlier Saturday before the show. 
Moving on though, below are some photos I snapped during my tour of the textiles and fashion design building's.  I was surprised to find out that SCAD has become one of the top 3 fashion schools in the country, beating out FIT. Clearly location is not everything....
