Local businesses donate to fashion and design show
Two local businesses have pitched in to help an upcoming fashion show.
JULES THIN CRUST of Wayne and Gingy’s owner Jean Tremblay and stylist Stephanie Covino made donations recently to a student-run Fashion and Design Show will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 19th in “The Big Room” of Ludington Library.
Student-Directors Nadia Horchler and Nayra Garcia have been running planning sessions for the past several months at Radnor High School. Designers, clothing makers, and metal arts students from various Main Line schools will be modeling their clothing, jewelry, and accessories and describing the inspiration for their work.
As the core of the show, Radnor High School’s Textile Arts Teacher and TLC Mentor Melanie Pereira has arranged for several of her students to model dresses, tops, and ensembles which they have sewn and developed.
Starting at 2:30 pm, there will be an opening concert featuring Lower Merion High School singer+songwriter Damini Babu on guitar.
Next, the designers, models, and special guests will be introduced.
The event’s proceeds, in the way of contributions and the raffle of fabulous items, will be donated to The Crohn’s Disease and Colitis Research Foundation based in Bala Cynwyd.
