BSA Fashion Show

The Black Student Association (BSA) Fashion Show began in 1998 as a campus-wide event to show Black culture, fashion and music through runway. Since 1998 the show has become bigger and better! Students from all over campus participate as models to make the show a success every year.

 

About the Show

Coming Together to Celebrate Differences

What started as a showcase of black talent and culture, today is a complex, enthralling, and fully student-run production that brings hundreds together to celebrate diversity. Loyola's story in The Grove gives a small, behind-the-scenes view of what it actually takes to put on this enormous event.
