Music will be pounding and the lights will be flashing on Monday May 24, at 6:30 p.m. when Seaholm’s auditorium will be transformed into a runway for the senior fashion show.
Seniors can attend the show for free, and everyone else is welcome for a $3 fee. Donations are also welcome.
The money will be going to a charity for Derby Middle School Teacher Redi Abazi, who is continuing treatment for stomach cancer.
All seniors are welcome to participate, and rehearsals will be held after school.
“I’m excited to model in the fashion show,’ senior Ana Gomez said. “I think it will be a great experience to end the year with.”
The last fashion show took place in 2007 where all students were able to participate. This year’s show brings about the change where only seniors are allowed to partake in the fun.
“This is the first senior fashion show production,” fashion teacher Barbara Monczka said. “It will be a fun event for the seniors to all do together.”
The show will feature 15 to 20 stores in and around Birmingham all of which donated spring and summer clothing.
“It’s been stressful going into the stores and trying to get clothing, but it’s teaching me how to work in the fashion industry,” junior Christine Donaldson said.
Putting together the show has had its complications as well.
“Some of the stores have made it difficult to put together the show, such as not returning phone calls,” senior Katie Stuart said.
For senior Bronte Root, it was a great learning experience.
“The show is student organized and it gave each of us a lot of responsibility,” Root said.
Taking Fashion 2 has been helpful for junior Danielle Aldridge.
“This class has been helpful on how to go forth in putting on a fashion show,” Aldridge said. “You get to go through the whole processes, and it’s been fun.”
The Fashion 2 class had two months to put the show together.
“It’s a very short time with not very many students in the class,” senior Calley McMillan said. “I think in the end we are going to pull it off and it will be great.”
