For the 12th year, Oklahoma State University’s department of Design and Merchandising presents Euphoria: An Orange Carpet Affair on Friday, April 21, inside the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center. The high-energy runway fashion show features the creations of fashion design students.

Tickets are now available for purchase on the Euphoria website. General admission tickets are $25 per person and VIP tickets are $75 per person. VIP tickets include an invitation to a special reception along with one drink ticket and hors d'oeuvres, a Euphoria souvenir tote-bag, one token worth $10 to spend at the pop-up shops, as well as early entry for shopping.

The VIP reception begins at 6 p.m. at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center. Doors open for seating at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.

Each spring semester, design and merchandising students in the fashion show production class gain hands-on experience in producing a high profile event. Students split into committees and plan the event from start to finish, including venue and music selection, ticket and program design, marketing and promotion, coordinating with the designers and models and organizing the flow of the show.

A new element of this year’s event is a collection of six unique pop-up shops for guests to enjoy ahead of the show. Students in the product development processes course are learning about charitable giving and entrepreneurial start-ups this semester. Teams merchandise these mini-stores with items donated by businesses with proceeds supporting student scholarships. 

In addition, a five-day charity auction will be held for alumni unable to attend Euphoria in person. The auction revenue will  support students who are seeking unpaid internships, attending competitions, participating in the National Retail Federation Student Program or study-away opportunities.  

If you are interested in supporting the event by donating merchandise to be sold, please complete this form.
