San Diego, CA – The students of San Diego Mesa College’s Fashion program are thrilled to present
the 44th Annual Golden Scissors Fashion Show, a highly anticipated, student-led event
that showcases the creativity and talent of the next generation of fashion professionals.
The show will take place on May 16, 2025, at San Diego Mesa College, welcoming students, faculty, industry professionals,

Fashion students, offering a unique opportunity to see their artistic vision and craftsmanship
on full display.
“Golden Scissors is a celebration of our students’ creativity, perseverance, and their
ability to bring fashion to life,” said Lyndsey Johnson, Co-Chair of the Fashion Department.
“It serves as an incredible platform for students to express their individual voices
and gain invaluable real-world industry experience.”
This year’s theme, Expressions, promises to deliver bold designs, diverse perspectives, and forward-thinking fashion.
