99 Cents Only Store in West LA Displays FIDM Students' High Fashion Designs From Store Items

The 99 Cents Only Stores located at 11040 W. Pico Blvd., in West Los Angeles, is currently featuring four fashion-inspired displays crafted by FIDM Visual Communications Students using everyday items from the store. Four groups of students selected a theme at random based on the departments in the store--Household Supplies, Halloween Products, Food Packaging, and Party Supplies--and brought their displays to life.

"This project has challenged the students to look at materials in a different way and to see the potential of creating great fashion displays with everyday items. A great design doesn’t require a great budget and this project has been an excellent opportunity for our students to demonstrate that," says Paul Olszewski, Visual Communications Instructor.

The designs will be on display at this 99 Cents Only Stores location for two weeks. Vote for your favorite design for a chance to win gift cards, event tickets, gift baskets, and more courtesy of 99 Cents Only Stores. The winning team will receive a 990second shopping spree at 99 Cents Only Stores.
