2026 SPRING FASHION SHOW

Celebrate Creativity, Confidence, and Sustainable Style

Get ready for the most inspiring event of the season! Our student designers and models have been hard at work dreaming, sketching, and stitching. Now, it’s time for them to take center stage at the iconic CCAD Canzani Center to showcase their one-of-a-kind upcycled creations.

👗 Information for Families

Student Drop-Off (Sunday)

Drop-off is between 1:50 PM and 2:00 PM at the Canzani Center. Parents do not stay backstage; this is a special time for our designers to prep with our professional team. While the kids are getting "runway ready," we invite you to browse our Sustainable Shopping Market starting at 3:00 PM!

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Parent Intermission. While the designers get ready, we suggest a stroll through the Columbus Museum of Art (right next door!) or grabbing a bite at our partner Food Truck located outside Canzani.
3:00 PM: Canzani Center Doors & Sustainable Market Open.

How to Prepare Your Designer

The "Runway Bin": Please bring all items (shoes, underlayers, outfits, accessories, hairbrushes) in a labeled bin with a lid.
Hair Prep: Do not wash your child’s hair after 1:00 PM on Saturday. "Day-old" hair holds style much better for the Sunday show!
Base Layers: Students might want to wear a fitted base layer (leotard, tank top, or leggings) under their clothes to make backstage changes quick and comfortable.
Snacks: Please feed your child before drop-off. You may pack a light, nut-free snack and a water bottle for backstage.

🎟️ Tickets & Attendance

This is a private, non-public event for the families and friends of our students.

Tickets: Starting at $25 (VIP options available).
Photos/Video: Professional photos will be available for purchase after the show. A full video of the production will be uploaded to the Columbus Fashion Academy YouTube channel.

Location: CCAD Canzani Center 60 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, OH 43215
