Video Features Fashionable Collaboration Between Horticulture, Apparel Merchandising, Engineering
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Collaboration between students in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering created Enclothe, a fashion show that electrified the runway with responsive lighting and floral integrations for a production that captured the senses.
"To form this bridge really expands the minds of all the students involved," said Robert Saunders, assistant department head for the department of electrical engineering.
Students in apparel merchandising and product development designed the clothes, while electrical engineering students integrated sound-responsive lighting . Horticulture students incorporated flowers into the fashions and the venue decoration. The project promoted cross-discipline collaboration, marrying engingeering with horticulture, fashion and art to expand minds through creativity.
