The Fashion Show 2026 Producers

Happy last day of The Fashion Show 2026 Fundraiser!

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our project! We are so thankful to have already surpassed our goal by over $6,000 and are incredibly humbled by the support our organization has been shown this year.

We have loved watching everyone get involved and excited about TFS; it is one of the many reasons we love this organization! We continue to be filled with gratitude for all the donors helping us reach and surpass our goal. We can’t wait to see what our donors achieve in the last 24 hours!

Hello FundISU donors! 

Thank you again for all of your support for The Fashion Show 2026! We are so thrilled and grateful to have surpassed our $35,000 goal!  As we get closer to the show, we wanted to send a reminder that pre-sale tickets go on sale March 9th, and the public ticket sales start March 16th! 

Donating $100 gives you access to pre-sale tickets, allowing you to choose your ideal seating for the show before the general public! This is one of our favorite incentives, as we want everyone who has supported our project to be able to claim their seats. Tickets can be purchased at the Iowa State Center Box Office or through Ticketmaster.

We cannot wait to see you at the show on April 18th!

Hello donors,

We are thrilled to welcome Aerie to The Fashion Show 2026!

Thank you all for your support during our Push Day and for helping us reach our $35,000 goal! We are so grateful for your contributions to making The Fashion Show 2026 come to life! Eight more days until the campaign is complete!

We are delighted to share The Fashion Show 2026 theme: Living Gallery. Inspired by Roman and Greek classical elements alongside Art Nouveau influences, this year’s theme embraces ornate detailing, naturalistic forms, and timeless artistry. We cannot wait to transform the runway into a living work of art. The winning mood board this year was created by one of our Visual Merchandising Directors, Josie Baker. Our talented Art Committee collaborated to develop Living Gallery from its initial mood board concept into a focused vision that will be represented throughout all of The Fashion Show 2026’s materials and content. The TFS team is excited to embody this theme and create a production that highlights the organization's past and inspires our next generation of talent.

Below is a glimpse into the theme created by our Art Directors, Victoria Lewis, Addy Clark, and McKenzie Rentschler!

We look forward to seeing you on April 18th, 2026, at Stephens Auditorium for The Fashion Show 2026 Living Gallery!

Hello, FundISU Donors!

It is PUSH DAY! As of 7 PM tonight, we officially launched our 24-hour campaign with a goal of raising $2,400 to support The Fashion Show. 

Because of generous donors like you, we’re able to plan and produce one of the largest student-run fashion shows in the nation. The funds raised during these next 24 hours will directly support our show’s set design, special events, and student design scholarships, helping make this year’s show truly unforgettable.

We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of The Fashion Show and the FundISU campaign. Thank you for helping us bring creativity, opportunity, and impact to life.

Hi FundISU Donors!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Just this past Wednesday, we set a new record by surpassing the highest amount ever raised within the first week of the TFS FundISU campaign. As of today, we have officially reached 50% of our fundraising goal!

This incredible milestone is a true testament to your generosity and belief in the mission of TFS. Because of supporters like you, we are able to make a meaningful and lasting impact, and we could not have reached this point without your dedication and support.

As the campaign continues, your ongoing encouragement plays an important role in helping us reach even greater heights. Thank you for standing with us, supporting our vision, and helping us make history.

With sincere gratitude,
The TFS Team
