Tepper Business Fashion Show
To give students a taste of dressing their best for any business situation, Tepper's student-run cmBA (Carnegie Mellon Business Association) hosted a business fashion show featuring some of the highest-quality clothing lines in the industry -- Brooks Brothers and Jos A Banks. Six female models and seven male models, almost all Tepper freshmen, strutted the runway confidently, showing off apparel for formal business, business casual, and even cocktail wear.
"The Business Fashion Show was an excellent learning experience for both the students attending the event as well as the Tepper freshmen who planned it," says cmBA president Maria D'Aliesio.
