Iowa State’s The Fashion Show every spring has been a tradition of the apparel, merchandising and design program for decades. The Fashion Show has received nationwide recognition and has featured many celebrity guest designers, but in this year’s show, one of its models will be featured on national television.

Alexander Courtney, sophomore in animal ecology, has been selected for the MTV show “Made,” which will feature Courtney’s journey to become a model for the ISU Fashion Show.

“MTV coverage of the show has been huge for us,” said Brittany Guzek, senior in apparel, merchandising, design and production and modeling co-director of the 2013 Fashion Show. “This is a great opportunity to show what a great apparel program we have. Since we’ve made the big announcement, there has been so much buzz and excitement going around. This could potentially jump start a huge growth in our program.”
