A Class Project
Students in Charles Freeman's merchandising and promotion strategies class were responsible for planning everything related to the fashion show. The students chose a futuristic theme related to fashion, so they came up with the name of "The New Age Traveler." Students broke off into groups for specific tasks for the show. There was a marketing team, public relations team, etc.Show Time
After all of their hard work, it was finally show time! The New Age Traveler show was held on December 3, 2013. Design and merchandising students showed off their amazing projects for faculty, staff, students, and locals in the community. All photo credit goes to Blake McCollum Photography.
Students created the programs for the show, which included advertisements from their sponsors around town. Many local stores and boutiques offered coupons and freebies for the gift bags.
The decorations and food were even "cotton inspired."

The show was an amazing success! A large crowd came to the show to support all of the ATM students. Mississippi State University would like to thank Cotton Incorporated, The Cotton Board, MSU Extension Services, and Jordan Planting Company for all of their support to make this show possible. ATM students hope to participate in other cotton related projects in the near future.
Projects On Display
All of the projects were on display in the Colvard Student Union on Mississippi State's campus from February 3rd-14th, 2014. It was exciting to see the whole cotton project come full circle and be recognized by all MSU faculty, staff, students, and visitors. MSU again sends its thanks to everyone who made this whole process possible!
