BSA Fashion Show

The Black Student Association (BSA) Fashion Show began in 1998 as a campus-wide event to show Black culture, fashion and music through runway. Since 1998 the show has become bigger and better! Students from all over campus participate as models to make the show a success every year.

About the Show

Coming Together to Celebrate Differences

What started as a showcase of black talent and culture, today is a complex, enthralling, and fully student-run production that brings hundreds together to celebrate diversity. Loyola's story in The Grove gives a small, behind-the-scenes view of what it actually takes to put on this enormous event.

What's Behind the BSA Fashion Show

BSA Fashion Show 2021 Presents

The word 'Nostalgia' with a swirled rainbow fill

Nostalgia, featuring In Living Color

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to showcase the BSA Fashion Show in 2020 and 2021. On Friday, April 30, 2021 BSA livestreamed a tribute video that highlighted the importance and origin of the BSA Fashion Show, featuring new content created by our student leaders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic known as “In Living Color”. We are excited and inspired to showcase the next BSA Fashion Show in 2022!
