Designer Liaison
Eleisah Wright
As a senior in the design cohort I wanted to make sure I was involved in the show as much as possible since my designs would be shown in it. It has been really good to have a voice for the seniors in the class so our needs are met as well as accommodations are made to make sure everyone's vision for how their clothes are presented is met. I will be moving back to Portland after graduation, and searching for jobs in the apparel industry in the greater Pacific Northwest.
Designer Liaison
Olivia Causey
Olivia is an 18-year-old apparel design and merchandising management major at Oregon State University. She is originally from Arlington, a small town located near Seattle, Washington. Being a person who loves to travel, she decided to come to OSU to pursue her majors in an attempt to explore more of the world while also being close enough to bring her family along on the journey.
Olivia is a very driven and hard-working individual. She excels at paying attention to detail and looking for creative solutions. She is very passionate about everything she does, even the small stuff, and that was part of why she joined the Fashion Show team. She wanted to see if this was the world she wanted to be a part of in the future and challenge herself along the way while trying something new.

Model Director
Paige Willis
I grew up in Eugene, OR before moving to Corvallis to attend Oregon State. Growing up I’ve always been a creative thinker. When I saw that OSU offered a Design and Innovation Management degree that would allow me to use a multidisciplinary approach to take on creative challenges, I knew it would be a good fit for me.
When I learned that the College of Business was offering a class to take part in the production of a fashion show, I was excited about the opportunity. While I didn’t have much previous experience in apparel, I knew that this would be a great chance to put the skills I’ve learned surrounding project management, business, and the creative process into practice.
Being able to work as the Model Director and in show productions for this event has been a very rewarding experience so far, and I’m very grateful for the successes and the learning experiences I’ve had along the way. After all the brainstorming, practice runs and dedication the OSU community has put into this show, I can’t wait to see all of our hard work come together.
I’ll be graduating with a degree in Design and Innovation Management this spring, after which my goal is to find work in the design field.
