April 8 was the 29th annual Mass Exodus show, where fourth-year Ryerson fashion design students showcase their lines. A total of 48 designers showcased their work at Daniel’s Spectrum theatre on Dundas Street East. The room was dimly lit by red-and-blue-tinted lights as a group of diverse models strutted and sashayed down the runway, outfitted in different fabrics, ranging from mesh to leather, each influenced by a different story.
