The College of Charleston School of the Arts congratulates Michael Wiernicki, costume shop manager in the Department of Theatre, on his success at Charleston Fashion Week’s Emerging Designer competition.  Michael’s beautiful collection of designs was shown on the runway Thursday night, and he has advanced as a finalist. He will show his complete collection tonight with the other finalists. Attendees were so impressed that he was voted People’s Choice!

Assistant Professor of Costume Design, Janine McCabe, adds, “His work stood out among the rest — creative, stylish, unique, beautifully constructed…I cannot find the right words to express the clarity, unity and focused voice of his collection, but let me say that it blew everyone away!”

The School of the Arts is thrilled for Michael and will cheer him on!
