DMACC Fashion Institute announces 9th Annual Spring Fashion Gala featuring ‘Funhaus’ theme

DMACC fashion students will showcase their designs during runway shows on April 21-22.

The DMACC Fashion Institute (DFI) is pleased to announce its 9th Annual Spring Fashion Gala: FUNHAUS, which will feature a mysterious journey into the dark and moody depths of the human psyche as created, planned and produced by DMACC Fashion students.

The theme of this year’s Gala – FUNHAUS – explores the concept of a strange, haunted circus runway, where models emerge for an eerie, once-in-a-lifetime performance to showcase student designs. The runway show will consist of four unique scenes: Avant Garde, Cut & Sewn, Upcycled and Styled.

“As director of the 2023 DMACC Fashion Institute’s Annual Spring Fashion Gala, I am honored to be part of such an amazing event,” said Karynna Jones, a second-year DMACC Fashion student from Mason City who is directing this year’s Gala. “My classmates and I are extremely excited to showcase our hard work and to see our designs come to life on the FUNHAUS runway.”
