Fashion Club holds its model casting for spring fashion show
Today after school in the dance room, the fashion club had its model casting for their upcoming fashion show which will be held on April 16th. The model casting consisted of headshots, walk trials and talking sessions regarding what to expect on the day of the fashion show.
“We have to have 30 models based on the clothes were getting,” said one of the Fashion Club vice-presidents, Sammie Cohen (’11).”Even though were having a casting everyone who tries out will probably be in the show.”
The club will be receiving donated clothes for the show from different stores such as David’s Bridal and Wet Seal.
The Fashion Club president, Sami Kofsky (’10) said that a portion of the profit made from the fashion show will be going towards a Familiai Dysautomia foundation in support of her brother who has Familiai Dysautomia. Overall, the casting was successful and the Fashion Club is very excited for its spring fashion show.
Fashion club begins to prepare for safari fashion show
Today, Tuesday October 6, 2009, the Fashion Club at Cherry Hill East held their first meeting of the year. About 25 students attended the meeting where plans were made for the safari themed fashion show that the club will perform on April 16, 2010.
A documentary was also shown about a teenage girl named Samantha Myers, who has a passion for fashion. Myers has Familial Dysautonomia (FD), a rare genetic neurological condition that affects the sensory and autonomic nervous systems, and causes numerous complications throughout the body. Her story was shared to the club because a portion of the proceeds from the fashion show will be donated to FD research.
The club meets at least twice a month to not only prepare for the fashion show, but also to discuss fashion trends. Many students attend the meeting simply to learn more about the fashion industry. According to Fashion Club member Justin Wachman (‘10), the club is basically the only way for students at East to learn about fashion.
“A lot of kids in the school want to study fashion in college. But besides art classes, we don’t have any fashion related classes at East. The club gives an opportunity for students interested to learn about fashion,” said Wachman. The club will have its next meeting on October 27, where hairstyle, makeup and clothing ideas will be discussed for the show.
