Baylor Fashion Design

From more than 700 entries, five Baylor University fashion design students' designs placed at the national Dallas Career Day competition held at the Dallas Market Center's World Trade Center on Friday, April 1.

With more than 1,200 university educators and students in attendance each year, Career Day is the largest design career event of its kind in the country. This year, 83.3 percent of the garments sent in by the Baylor department of family and consumer sciences were showcased in the runway competitions, and 29 percent won an award and cash scholarship.

"The Career Day competition has grown significantly over the years and each category is highly competitive," said Dr. Judith Lusk, professor of apparel design, product development and merchandising at Baylor. "When students' garments are exhibited in the fashion show it is a win and an honor for the student. We have never had this high percentage of our garments walk in past Career Day shows."
