Unfinished seams and poor emceeing aside, this semester’s FAST fashion show brought forth some bold ideas, spot-on prints and fabrics, and creative finishes (we’re mostly talking about the designers logos and accessories in president Yang Qu’s closing collection). The organization bid farewell to a class of fall graduates including Qu’s co-president, Cory Mohn, who bid adieu to the crowd with, “Drive safe and have a good night.”
