2012 Saddleback College Fashion Show

Once upon a time a class of college students decided to use a somewhat dark fairy tale theme for the annual fashion show. 
The idea was Twisted...
and fabulous.



Guests were fabulously fashionable,

Students were fabulously talented,


The food was just fabulous.


Members of the fabulous Fashion Club 


And basket after basket filled with fabulous goodies to be raffled off...

Saddleback Fashion Show "TWISTED" Review

Original post by JD Nowland:

The Twisted Fashion Show stage was set and the Saddleback students transported the audience to a place  dreamt up in their imaginations and created by hours and hours of hard work.
Once the lighting and music started it really felt like a scene out of some bizarre twisted fairy tale.

There were easily 50+ fashions in the show. I tried to photograph them all but, lots were blurry or I snapped an awkward pose. So the pics that follow are the best photos of some of the best fashions.
ALL student work. 
Actually great student work.







Fantasy at the Twisted Fashion Show

Next the Twisted Fashion Show got really wild with the Fantasy garments that were made from anything BUT fabric...
( Hum the captions to the tune of  'These are a Few of my Favorite Things' )

Napkins and cardboard...

and Palm fronds and plastic...

Black bags for garbage...


and sixteen shower curtains of white...


Feathers, a birdcage skirt made out of paper,
these are a few of the Fantasy things.

After a great show I congratulated a few of my students that won prizes for their garments...

and Lisa and I got lucky in the basket raffle drawing.

Trashin Fashion Show - Congrats to Saddleback College students!

This past Sunday, 9 finalists participated in "Trashin' Fashion Show" held at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific.  4 of those 9 students were Saddleback College Fashion Students! Angelina Johnson (Saddleback Student) took away the grand prize of $500 for her garment. Her garment below:


Amanda Hunn, a finalist in the Trashin Fashion show from Saddleback College, wrote a blog post about her experience.  Her original post can be found HERE.


Experience:
It was great to be one of the nine finalist in the Trashin’ Fashion show hosted by the wonderful Aquarium of the Pacific. The event was so well organized and amazing, I was very proud to have been among such high quality designers, models and support staff!
Inspiration:
My inspiration came from a party I went to at a friends house. We had such a good time and everything was coordinated, beautiful but single use. I thought how sad is it that the earth has to clean up after the parties we have once all these paper products were tossed in the landfill. So I created the after party dress, to show that even though the party has stopped our earth doesn’t have to clean up after it.
