For the Fall 2012 show, there will be eight women's wear collections and one men's wear collection. Two of the women's wear designers this season, Amy Bond and Farida Khan, received their M.F.A. in Fashion Design through Academy of Art University's Online Fashion Program. This season, two M.F.A. Fashion Design students who completed their degrees in the Online Fashion Program at Academy of Art University will present their collections. Farida Khan was born in Pakistan and now lives in Doha, Qatar. She received a Higher National Diploma in Fashion Design from Edexcel BTEC and completed her M.F.A. in Fashion Design through the Academy of Art University's Online Fashion Program. She honed her design skills working as an assistant designer at Ali Khan and as a technical designer at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar. For her collection, Farida was inspired by the idea of unconventional beauty. She constructed bold silhouettes using wool, cotton, coated denim, polyurethane, and punched leather.
