Eco-Friendly Shopping at the Fashion Show!

Tarah of Urban Fashion Network is setting up a shopping extravaganza for the night of the fashion show. She is organzing a variety of vendors that sell fashion and accessories that are fair trade and respect the environment. We will post who will be here as soon as we find out!

Model Call Tomorrow

FGI proposal! ASSP approved!

We have been working with a member of FGI to draft a proposal to ask for a sponsorship for the fashion show. We are asking for funds to cover the cost of catering Upper Gwinn, (we have to use Campus Dining, which isn't cheap) the rental of Upper Gwinn, and a few other incidentals. Heather, Caitlin, and Devon are taking this proposal before the FGI board, May 6th. Cross your fingers and toes/pray that we will win them over with our great ideas and charming personalities!

In other news, ASSP approved our event so it is now placed on the master calendar. This also helps out with a lot of the other logistics of the event because we can use their resources, including advertising on campus.

In the works:
1.A calendar of dates for the model calls and rehearsals
2. press package to send to all the newspapers and publications in Seattle.
3. Putting together a promotions team, if you know anyone who might be interested pass on the info!

Yay for more steps to making this a reality!

The national fashion industry AIDS charity DIFFA is the other charity we are hoping to work with. DIFFA will be discussing their involvement in our event this week at their meeting. Check back for the latest on that. Fashion CAN make a difference in the local community and nationwide!

A VIDEO:James, a videographer has agreed to shoot a video of the fashion show. This will include a brief documentary of putting the event together as well as covering the actual event.

FGI Seattle: Theresa, a member of FGI has offered her experience and connections to help out with the show. Also, if anyone is interested in becoming a student member of FGI all you have to do is go to www.fgi.org, then to the Seattle page then click on the "become a student member". It is super easy and looks good on a resume.

GAS MASKS: Heather's Air Force unit has offered to lend a bunch of gas masks for the opening scene of the fashion show. Imagine: Models walking down the catwalk in jeans, stilletos and gas masks, striking a fierce pose. Dramatic!
