The Lasalle Show is an annual event showcasing the works of graduate students from the various schools and programmes of Lasalle College of the Arts. Hosted at its McNally Campus, this is the final weekend for the public to experience the exhibition before the show wraps up on May 31. What makes this year’s edition extra special is that it marks the first time the show has returned as an in-person event since the onset of the pandemic. And on opening night on May 18, the crowd comprising students, alumni, the creative set and industry professionals definitely came out in full force to support this comeback. Ahead, we show some of the fashion moments from the night.
