USC's Fashion Industry Assn. hosts a free fashion show Sunday

FIA USC doesn't have a fashion design program, but that hasn't stopped students from creating an on-campus fashion group — the USC Fashion Industry Assn. — that regularly hosts lectures and events (they are Trojans, after all).

And Sunday, the FIA will present its sixth annual student-produced fashion show, sponsored by Paige Premium Denim. Set to take place at the school's Town & Gown venue, the show will feature lines designed by both student and professional designers.

Established collections poised to hit the runway include Paige Premium Denim, Bloomingdale's Aqua Line, i.am (will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas' line) and Moods of Norway, with 13 labels scheduled to be shown in total.

The show is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the runway show beginning at 8. Be sure to arrive early — seats always fill up quickly.
