Submissions for Teen Council’s Annual Fashion Show

January 5, 2023 - January 6, 2023

About

Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s (CAMH) Teen Council invites young Houston-area designers and stylists to submit to their 2023 Fashion Show.

Annually, Teen Council curates a fashion show for CAMH’s Spring Break Community Celebration. This year’s fashion show will showcase looks that channel a “before” and “after” moment that has shaped you. How have you been born anew? What did you leave behind? What are you taking into your new reality? Consider how different techniques can inform your fashion: up-cycling, fabric manipulation, embellishing, creating textiles, etc.

Submissions from both designers and stylists will be accepted. Selected designs will be presented on the “runway” during CAMH’s Spring Community Celebration on Saturday, March 18, 2023.
