75 OUTREACH ACTIVITIES 2020 Fashion Design Bachelor’s Program Runways On December 15, the final academic runway show for the Fashion Design Bachelor’s Program, *Virtual Fashion Show | Human Borders*, took place virtually. Sixteen third-year students from the program participated with their runway collections. The show consisted of the presentation of their individual collections: Blocked, Xanax, Mental Loop, Shout out, Impinge, Noxus, Blurred Aim, Ruido, Oppression, Drowned Mind, I&US, Inner Coexist, Tsubaki, Sakura, Raw, and Pura. Additionally, on August 7, Nexo Atávico took place at the Punta Carretas Lighthouse drive-in theater, an unconventional fashion event in the midst of a global pandemic. The goal was to create and breathe new life into four collections conceived, designed, and produced exclusively from surplus materials from national industries. Thirteen students, inspired by their ancestral roots, presented the Ardé, Bruto, Dual, and Nato collections.
