The category is… professional dress!
The Career Development Center held its first Style for Hire to help students learn how to dress in today’s working world. The event showed how to rock a professional look while letting your personality shine.
The event began with a fashion show, which featured Loyola students as runway models wearing professional clothes.
Following the show, there was a wide-range of stations to visit and learn from, including a pop-up closet with free upcycled clothing and a photo booth to take headshots for platforms.
Loyola’s Theater Department had a booth teaching students how to sew a button, take measurements, and tie a tie.
Stylists from Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute were giving tips on hair and makeup.
Dress for Success, a global non-profit that works to support women in professional development and economic independence, was offering advice on interviews and how to dress for them.
