Follow along with Chloe, a first-year, VCUarts Fashion merchandising student, to create repeating patterns, fashion flats, and line sheets in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for her class, Technology in Fashion Merchandising, taught by Professor Lopez.
For this project, she needed to showcase 24 activewear garments for the upcoming season. Chloe drew inspiration from the Paris Catacombs and created a mock collaboration between Nike and the ACLU. Finally, Chloe assumed the roles of designer, merchandiser, and sales representative for her line, and presented her capsule to the class and professor.

The inauguration of the first female governor of Virginia is a monumental event, and of course, fashion plays a key role. In collaboration with the Spanberger Inauguration Committee, the fashion department announced to its students, an informal âfashion competitionâ the first week of classes.
The challenge was for students to envision two looks for Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger for two marquee events: the swearing-in ceremony and the Inaugural Ball. With a very quick turnaround time, 23 students rose to the challenge using and pushing their creativity, research, and technical skills to deliver thoughtful and impactful work under real-world constraints.
The result is a collection of work that reflects both adaptability and innovation across disciplines. This opportunity highlights the interdisciplinary strength of VCUarts Fashion, showcasing how design and merchandising students bring distinct yet complementary perspectives to real-world creative projects.
Swipe through to explore some of the selected student work and celebrate the talent shaping the future of fashion at VCU. On the last two slides, see what Governor Spanberger actually wore to these events.
