Instead of relying solely on my own snark, I enlisted Iowa native Todd Snyder for expert reaction to “Iowa Fashion Week.”

“Is that a real thing?” he asked.

Sorry, Onion, but New York City fashion kingpin Snyder never had heard of you. The 45-year-old menswear mogul was named one of the best designers in America last year by GQ, among other accolades.

Man this hits close to home.

quote:

SEATTLE—Calling his résumé “exceptional” and “like nothing we’ve ever seen,” the human resources department at local public relations firm Brink & Tiller called 22-year-old job applicant Corey Wilhelm immediately after noticing he had a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, sources confirmed Wednesday.

Wilhelm’s résumé, which was e-mailed to the firm in regards to an entry-level job opening, was reportedly forwarded to the highest levels of the company, after which executives scrambled to contact the 2012 University of Washington graduate and offer him the position.

“A Bachelor of Arts? In communications? I mean, where did this kid come from?” said HR director Robert Bradshaw, who, after seeing Wilhelm’s impressive 3.20 cumulative GPA, walked the résumé directly into the company president’s office and said, “We must hire this person immediately.” “I mean, not only did Corey manage to get into the University of Washington School of Communication right out of high school, but—get this—he then graduated with a degree in that very field. A Bachelor of Arts, no less. Rare and gifted is all I have to say.”

Comm is generally considered to be for people who couldn't hack it in one of the more discipline focused business degrees.
