CIA’s spin on a runway show! Not high fashion, but high fun, with a decided spin toward the quirky. The Runway Show highlights some of the most innovative works of art and design—all original work for the body—by CIA students from a variety of majors.
This year’s theme is Rebellion + Revolution. Think ’90s punk as a new generation of artists explore using creativity for social and political change.
The 2025 Runway Show will take place at 7pm Tuesday, April 22—during the 2025 Spring Show opening night—in CIA's Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Atrium.
