On Sunday, April 27, 2025, we proudly held the NSCAD End-of-Year Student Fashion Runway Show at Alderney Landing. The show started at 7 p.m. and will ran for approximately 2 hours. This runway show, a long-established tradition for the Fashion-Eastas of Nova Scotia, is not just a showcase of emerging talent but a testament to the vibrant fashion culture of our community. It is the capstone achievement of our Intermediate and Advanced Fashion Studies (AFS) students as well as selected students from NSCAD’s Jewellery and Metalsmithing Program.

Jurors
Sow to Sew Awards
For the second consecutive year, the Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation is generously providing three prizes to participating designers in NSCAD’s end-of-year Fashion Show.
These prizes, which recognize sustainability in design, excellence in material exploration, and outstanding innovation in design concept and execution, highlight individuals who demonstrate exceptional promise in these areas through their final collection.
Valued at $1,500 each, the prizes are a testament to NSCAD’s commitment to fostering excellence in fashion, adornment and design.
The finalists for these prizes were selected by a multidisciplinary jury of four professional artists practicing in the fields of fashion, design, metalsmithing, visual art and architecture.
Tabitha Osler is an educator, award-winning fashion designer, and the owner/operator of Fairchild, a sustainable fashion brand that champions the circular economy. It is based in the Maritimes.
