Tim Yip’s costumes bring Jazz Age glamour to life with flowing silhouettes, shimmering fabrics, and sharp tailoring.

Cincinnati knows how to do Halloween right.

RetroFittings 2025 returns to Cincinnati’s Music Hall on October 23 for an unforgettable night of fashion, philanthropy, and creativity. Hosted by St. Vincent de Paul, this event challenges UC DAAP students to transform thrifted clothing and materials into runway-ready designs. Guests can enjoy boutique shopping, food and drinks, silent auctions, raffles, and a dazzling fashion show — all while supporting St. Vincent de Paul’s programs for neighbors in need. More than a fashion event, RetroFittings captures the spirit of sustainability and reinvention, proving that old can truly become new again.
