This show started in 1929; Washington University School of Art students showed their work to local gament manufacturers, who promptly stitched up the best designs, inaugurating "junior" clothes sizes and making a fortune. Today, it's fully choreographed, as extravant as a Paris couture show and as flashy as a Broadway revue. The models glided onto the Saint Louis Galleria runway in opera coats paired with black gowns, skirts inspired by wine and grapes and the students' siganture collections.
