Otis College of Art and Design is known for its fabulous year-end fashion shows. And next years seems to be shaping up to be equally as fabulous. Otis has just announced that Cynthia Rowley, KaufmanFranco and the legendary Bob Mackie will be mentors for its fashion design program this season.

To catch a glimpse of past season's shows, have a look at the Otis website. Recently the school posted 27 of their annual student fashion show videos from 1983 to 2009. It's not only a great opportunity to view student work, but also serves as a time capsule of fashion history. Think designers, runway shows, '80s hair and more....!!

In past years the school has enlisted a veritable "Who's Who" of fashion to be design mentors so there is plenty to see. Clips of Richard Tyler, Max Azria, Isabel Toledo, Nolan Miller, Trina Turk, Rozae Nichols, John Varvatos, Eduardo Lucero, David Meister, Marie and Kellie Grey for St. John, Bill Travilla and Randolph Duke - just to name a few.
