UC's Multi-Talented Designers

By Whitney Loquillano

By all accounts, this year's UC Body and Mantle show was a huge success. Every semester students from all of UC's design programs (including DAAP School of Design, DAAP School of Architecture and Interior Design, DAAP School of Art, and UC Blue Ash Department of Art) bring their finished body mantle projects together to display in a show.
The students all wear their projects and parade down the aisle for everyone in the audience to see (friends, family, teachers and colleagues). This year the show included approximately 550 design students.
One of the students this year created a dress made entirely out of Christmas lights, and at the end of the walkway, someone plugged in the lights, creating an amazing effect for the whole show.
The body mantle project is the 3D class's biggest project, where the students are required to choose one material to create a piece of attire. In the past students have created everything from headdresses to coats and even full-length gowns.
These pieces of attire are put together with at least 100 of whatever material the student chooses and usually without using tape or glue.
If you don't think that's possible, then you will have to attend the spring semester show to see it for yourself.
There were so many stunning pieces this year from all of the creative students at UC, who knows what will lie in store for us at the end of the year?
