South Florida Fashion Academy to Host 3rd Annual Student Fashion Runway Show & Portfolio Review
The passionate fashion design and cosmetology students from South Florida Fashion Academy will celebrate sustainable fashion and local creatives this year at the 3rd Annual Portfolio Review & Student Fashion Runway Show in Fort Lauderdale at the new YMCA South Florida Rooftop venue (1409 NW 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311) as they present new fashion collections, creative fashion & beauty portfolios, business plans and creative fashion/beauty products that they have developed over the 2024-2025 academic year.
Local South Florida fashionistas, influencers, media members and beauty enthusiasts are encouraged to attend this year’s event and join with others to celebrate the next generation of fashion designers and beauty professionals in South Florida. “Our students have worked relentlessly over the past several months to develop brand new beauty products and fashion collections that they are incredibly proud of and excited to share with the world,” said Taj McGill, founder/director of South Florida Fashion Academy.
Newly added to this annual fashion & beauty event will include a riveting dance performance and added fashion and beauty product launches from Innovative Heights Preparatory School students. “Our parent elementary school, Innovative Heights Preparatory School, which features bright elementary school students, will also participate in this year’s fashion runway show and portfolio review– we have innovative beauty products developed and launched by kindergarten students all the way through 5th grade. They will be debuting new beauty products with pop-up shops and products available for sale,” McGill stated.
During this year’s event, SFFA will spotlight and celebrate one talented fashion design student with the Designer of The Year Award. The award will be presented with a scholarship by the academy’s Program Director/Founder, Taj McGill. “It’s inspiring to work with these young and passionate students every day. This is why I founded the academy– to help them develop their craft and provide them with the resources and tools necessary to bring their fashion design and beauty concepts to fruition. This year’s recipient for the DOTY won’t be revealed until the night of the event, but I can say the student is quite the innovative fashion creative,” said McGill.
Established in 2019, SFFA has built an outstanding Taj McGill Fashion Design Program for middle and high school students passionate about learning the craft and becoming emerging and successful young fashion designers and professionals. “It’s my belief that creatives shouldn't have to wait until college to start learning fashion design– they can start in sixth grade at our academy,” McGill stated.
