Students strut their stuff

Striking colors, elegant movements and appealing styles of several different outfits were expressed during the fashion show hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi. Held on Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m., in the A&S Auditorium, a total of sixteen GCSU students, women and men participated in the show that attracted quite an audience.

According to Chris Clay, host of the fashion show and member of Kappa Alpha Psi, “This show was our first but the next one should be even bigger.”

Starting with the Red and White theme portion of the show, the models looked fabulously glowing in their form-fitting outfits. The outfits ranged from chic, silky dresses to lacey halter-tops.

The colors of red and white resemble the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity colors, supporting the St. Judes philanthropy. St. Jude is one of the largest hospitals committed to the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

“Do it for Jude,” mentions Erin Gant, freshman at GCSU and participant in the fashion show. “It was a lot of hard work, but in the end it was all worth it.”

One of the main priorities of this fashion show was to raise money for their philanthropy and attract a great audience to support them in their efforts.

The black, elegant theme was presented next, accentuating bulky, vividly colored purses and exclusive clutches. Shoes were also another accentuation during this portion. The fierce handbags and the bold shoes added exhilaration to each and every outfit. Colors varied from turquoise to bright shades of yellow as the girls worked their poises across the stage.

With smooth moves and sophisticated attitudes, the guys worked the Polo outfit part of the show. Wearing striped to bold colored polos, each guy walked across stage thrilling the audience with their style and appearance.

Funky colors and unique patterns appeared in The French Vill’Edge section, the boutique formerly known as Tre’ Bella. The cuts and patterns matched perfectly with each and every design involved in the outfit. The designs were unusual but extremely appealing to the eye that.

Clothing line from Maggie Lane’s was presented, with eccentric and soothing patterns. Stepping away form the brightly colored clothing, this clothing line leaned more towards pastel colors. This effect brought a calming and peaceful atmosphere amongst the audience.

Flash back to the ’80s brought the fashion show to an end, once again with bright and outrageous colors. The dazzling pink accents seemed to be popular among the outfits along with the thick belts, funky earrings and leg warmers. Each outfit was different from the other and matched the appearance of the model perfectly.

“I felt like there was a high energy level from the models which brought enthusiasm and excitement to the overall show,” Erin Keeler, freshman, said.
