PlayDate Fashion Show
$15
Doors open at 6pm
Organized by UMass Fashion Organization taking place at The Carle, PlayDate is a fashion show that explores the radical power of play and joy throughout different life stages.
Moving chronologically from childhood into adulthood, this show highlights how play evolves—from carefree childhood exploration to physical extracurricular activities, rebellious self-discovery in adolescence, and the tension between joy and productivity in adulthood. Through the 5 sections, we reflect on what it means to center play in a world that often prioritizes efficiency and profit over connection and creativity.
Tickets available for purchase through UMASS at the link above. Seating will be available in the Great Hall, and there will be time to explore The Carle Bookshop and Reading Library before the show starts.
