Nearly 800 guests packed San Antonio's Grand Hyatt Hotel for the University of the Incarnate Word's Cutting Edge Fiesta速 Fashion Show.

The annual event, produced entirely by students, featured garments illustrated, designed and constructed by UIW students. Incarnate Word senior Andrea Sepulveda won Best of Show and Best Design for her "Looking through the Looking Glass" collection. Sepulveda's collection of bold and unique statement coats was inspired by the curved lines of modern sculpture and created with a mix of silk and wool fabrics hand dyed and detailed with metallic and opaque paints. The Best of Show is determined by the garment scored highest by a panel of judges. Best Construction was won by Melissa Castelo for her "Road Less Travelled" collection and Kadie Plummer won Honorable Mention for her collection titled "Chandelier Tiers." Winners received specially designed awards courtesy of Tiffany & Co as well as a professional photo shoot of their designs by San Antonio Headshots - Mark Humphries Photography.

This year's show also featured garments from UIW's sister school Tainan University of Technology in Taiwan. UIW has had a working relationship with Tainan University since 1988. The university offers two year, four year and graduate programs in fashion management and design.

The Cutting Edge Fiesta速 Fashion Show is an official Fiesta速 Event and was attended by Miss Fiesta San Antonio Lauren Holt and her court Crystal Diaz and Samantha Vasquez and the Queen of Soul Chelsea Richardson. Guests were also treated to a surprise guest appearance

by El Rey Feo Bill Drain.

All proceeds from the show fund scholarships for UIW's fashion management students. This year, two students received $1,500 scholarships thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and supporters of the annual Cutting Edge Fiesta速 Fashion Show.
