BRICOLAGE Issue 7 is here!!! Apparel Merchandising and Design students have worked fervently on this edition in collaboration with our fabulous partners: Jacob Spiekermeier, Kirk Monson, Professor David Kcc Brandstetter, and the Visual Communication and Design team!!!
Special thanks to all our retailers who graciously partnered with us so that we could style and showcase fantastic ensembles: for our luxurious cover ensembles, Target Cedar Rapids South for our fantastic career and business casual looks for "Escape to Paradise Island," and at Lindale Mall for all the great outdoor looks and folding chairs for "Around the Campfire."
We also want to express our appreciation to our location partners who permitted us to utilize your spaces, providing us with authentic photoshoot sets.
Special thanks to Pam Hinman for all the time and efforts spent to assist us with planning the logistics and permissible areas of the airport for our "3 Fld. Oz. or Less" photoshoot - this was truly an adventure for us!
To , we were absolutely delighted to be granted access to your fabulous soda fountain and candy shop for our "1950s Soda Pop" photoshoot. We are grateful you took the time to craft some of your delightful treats so that we had genuine props - it felt as if we truly took a step back in time.
Thank you, Palisades-Kepler State Park for letting us have our "Escape to Paradise Island" and "Around the Campfire" photoshoots in the wilds of nature. These were memorable adventures for students.
