IIC's annual graduation show may not be until late October, but students, staff, and International Guest Artists are already making preparations and bringing their designs to life.

Graduation is not only a formal ceremony with awards and guest speakers, but also an elaborate production where current and future stylists' imaginations come to life on the runway. Future stylists at IIC's campuses in Plainville and Wethersfield have been spending Thursdays working on designs for the masquerade-themed graduation.

The usual buzz and excitement is further propelled by the recent announcement that world-renowned stylist and TV personality Tabatha Coffey will be a guest speaker at this October's graduation.
