The mid-week event for Fashion Week 2026 at Kent State University was the Study Away Fashion Show featuring student creations that highlight global design experiences.
The dazzling and colorful backdrop for the show was gateway installations created by students working with visiting artist Adam Nathaniel Furman as part of Kent State's Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series.
Fashion Week events, presented by the School of Fashion in Kent State's College of the Arts will continue through the rest of the week, building to the spectacular 2026 Hall of Fame Gala on May 2.
The "Sensual Surfaces" gateways will remain on display inside the John Elliot Center for Architecture and Environmental Design through June 26.
