Student fashion shows can be a mixed bag, but we can't help but love celebrating the potential of young designers, finding fresh inspiration from new faces, and trying to guess who'll be the next up-and-coming designer to emerge from the Twin Cities. On Saturday night, the University of Minnesota hosted their 44th annual senior apparel student fashion show at Rapson Hall on the college's Minneapolis campus. Though the show was called "Twelve," only 11 designers showcased their collections - but we say, quality over quantity. We especially loved Sara Lopez' play on proportions in her avant-garde looks, as well as Jennifer Robertus' mix of flowing sheers with preppy stripes. Here is a sampling of the evening's looks, as gorgeously captured by photographer Amy Gee.
