Local fashion is alive and open for you to enjoy in Fayetteville for the rest of the spring semester. Events to attend are: a fashion show at the Fayetteville Athletic Club, an exhibit in the Anne Kittrell Gallery and the Live United Fashion Show.
"Sustainable Fashion: Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue Green" fashion show will be presented by the apparel studies program and the University Women's Club 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. today at the Fayetteville Athletic Club.
The apparel studies students and UA faculty has created "green" garments for the runway. There are no limitations on what materials designers may use as long as they are recycled. The show will feature recreations of jean jackets by the students and a green wedding dress finale.
Apparel studies students are also setting up the "Designer Call" exhibit in the Anne Kittrell Gallery in the union today. Lona Robertson's visual merchandising students are exercising their visual design talent for class by setting up all the garments, mannequins, art, space, lighting and more for the exhibit.
The exhibit will feature clothes made by many local designers. The garments will range from casual everyday wear to wearable art. It will begin later this week and run through September when chosen garments will be in a Runway Show in the Union Connections Lounge.
Project: Live United is a runway show featuring apparel studies students' designs. The Live United T-shirt design must creatively be incorporated into the garment. Once again, no creations are off limits. Fashion forward and wearable art is highly encouraged for the cause.
Liberty Bank of Arkansas, Masons and United Way of Northwest Arkansas are working together on this event to benefit the Live United theme of giving, advocating and volunteering. The show will run from 6 to 9 p.m. on May 7 at Masons on Joyce Street.
Tickets are $35.
