SGMS FFB Fashion Show September 25th
SCHOOLGIRLS AND MOBILESUITS: CULTURE AND CREATION IN MANGA AND ANIME (SGMS)will be presenting fashion designers to showcase their designs in the 6th Annual Fresh Fruits Basket fashion show, at MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art and Design). SGMS is an academic conference dedicated to the understanding of manga and anime, which communicates with and presents the work of anime/manga artists, authors, publishers, and academics. SGMS’ audience is a diverse combination of anime and manga students, academics, and industry professionals.
SGMS is devoting the first night of the conference (Friday, September 25, 2009) to the exploration of connections between fashion/lifestyle and/or costume and anime and/or manga. A significant part of this evening is the runway fashion show-Fresh Fruits Basket fashion show. The mission of this fashion show is to visually explore the connections between anime/manga and fashion. Styles include Lolita, gothic Lolita, Steampunk, Kigurumi, Edwardian, deconstructed decadence and goth.
This year we will be offering up a contest! The FFB fashion show is looking to choose a [b]new name[/b]. All submissions must be in by the end of the show Friday and will be chosen by Sunday at the end of the conference.
The designers showing this year are as follows:
Showcase:
♥Carousel Cafe/Kittineko Studios
♥KMKostumes
♥Irregular Pearl
Main Show:
♥Apatico
♥Scoundrelle's Keep
♥Blasphemina's Closet
♥Megan Maude
Neither a convention nor a conference, SGMS has developed over time a casual and intimate interaction between audience members and speakers. The session combines the fun of cosplay, Otaku bazaars, fashion shows and anime screenings with the presentation and discussion of academic papers and the demonstration of artistic techniques, resulting in freewheeling discussions between guests and participants.
