New Providence Student Fashion Show Puts Young Designers On The Runway

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ — Young designers are getting their own turn on the runway in New Providence this weekend.

Sew Dandelions will host its Threads of Chaos student fashion show on Sunday, Sept. 20, at its studio at 309 South Street.

Doors open at 3:30 p.m., with the public runway show beginning at 4 p.m.

The show brings together work students created during Sew Dandelions' 2026 summer fashion programs. Their inspirations ranged from Marie Antoinette at Versailles and Yohji Yamamoto to 1980s art, underwater color and French confectionery, according to the studio.

Students explored sewing, draping, illustration, accessories and unconventional materials while developing their pieces.

The collections “reflect each student's individual interpretation rather than a single prescribed project,” according to Sew Dandelions.

The runway will feature garments, headpieces, bags and accessories, jewelry, footwear and wearable art.

Public admission is $10 for ages 17 and older and $5 for children ages 3 to 16. Children younger than 3 are admitted free. Advance tickets are recommended because seating is limited, and seating is first come, first served. Tickets for the show can be purchased in advance through Sew Dandelions' online scheduling page.

Student registration costs $55 and includes participation in the fashion show, preparation and rehearsal, hair and makeup preparation, and admission for two parents or guardians and up to three siblings.

The fashion show will be held on the studio's second floor, which is reached by about 10 stairs and does not have an elevator. Guests who may have difficulty using stairs are encouraged to consider the venue's accessibility before purchasing tickets.
