Saturday High Fashion Show at Art Center Aug. 21

Art Center College of Design’s sixth annual Saturday High Fashion Show will be presented on Sunday, August 21, 2011, with one show at 8:30 p.m. (and another at 9:30 p.m., if necessary) at the college’s South Campus, Mezzanine Level. The Fashion Show will feature over 40 outfits worn by dozens of models and designed by 40 students from the program’s spring and summer 2011 as well as a few returning students. Tickets for the show will be $10 and available as of August 11; a rehearsal for the event is planned for August 20 at 8:00 p.m.

The 2011 Fashion Show brings the work and talented young fashion designers to the forefront of an exciting show. Focusing on a “White” theme for their designs, the Saturday High students will present an eclectic mix of outfits and garments that range from the traditional to the avant-garde. The show is a unique event that brings together young talent, families, and educators in a setting that is lively yet professional.

Beyond the innovative fashion elements, the 2011 Fashion Show also exemplifies the tremendous impact of Art Center’s pioneering Saturday High program. The program enables young artists to cultivate their creative talents and produce work in an educational, professional, and community-based context. Saturday High students not only have access to the institution’s exceptional instruction and facilities, they also gain exposure to Southern California’s vibrant arts community. The Program and the Fashion Show help students become better artists, fashion designers, and thinkers.

“We are especially proud of our sixth annual Fashion Show,” noted Paula Goodman, Director of K-12 Programs at Art Center College of Design. “Our talented, ambitious Saturday High students have leveraged hard work, innovation, and adventurous creativity to design and create wonderful, cutting-edge clothing. This gala event draws attention to these amazing students and also brings our community together in the name of beautiful fashion and the arts,” she added.
