The mall at Copley Place held a catwalk series during Boston Fashion Week to showcase local designers. Unlike most fashion week events, it was open to the public on a first come, first serve basis, generating a long line of college students and fashion enthusiasts eager to get a taste of the fashion scene.

| A look from Eileen Fisher's collection. |
The show I attended on October 6th featured a collection from Eileen Fisher, followed by an awe-inducing showcase by students of the School of Fashion Design. Fisher's looks were cool and casual - denim, tees, a couple cozy sweaters and winter coats, clothing you can find in most retail stores. But the real spectacle was the student work. The audience actually murmured "Ooo" and "Aaah" upon seeing these couture pieces.
Among the student designers were
Khatu Ho Wong, Yue Wu, Lindsay Calderon, Patricia Coombs, Ali
Bianchi, Ty Sinnett, Mamatha Kothiwale, Sangya Acharya, Chynna
Pope and Ada Uzuegbo. All ten artists proved their talent with evening gowns and cocktail dresses, dripping in elegance, detail and quality fabrics. Some like Wong and Calderon made striking pieces through structure and color-blocking. Others like Sinnet and Pope used draping for drama and romanticism.
