Both designers changed the way women dressed.Fashion students also set out to change the way we dress. Their efforts range from bold and chanel bags outlet beautiful to surreal and absurd. Monday, 138 graduates of the fashion design class at LaSalle College put on their vision in a show comprising 350 outfits in 20 tableaux.
