AbsolutEStyle Fashion Show: Apr 25 Peter Jensen Photography
100 original garments presented by 28 models
With Absolute Style hosting nearly 1,000 people ro marvel at 100 original garments presented by 28 models, the one thing you don’t want to be on April 25, is fashionably late. The last loose ends are being snipped and tied this week as the University of the Fraser Valley’s Fashion Design program puts finishing touches on what’s quickly become the region’s marque fashion event. “It’s an exciting, creative show with a huge, diverse collection of works,” disclosed UFV Fashion Design program head Deanna Devitt.
Fusing active wear with the avantgarde, this year’s collection is as diverse as the talented graduating students themselves. Devitt said several themes arose, from 1940s Gatsby to Russian princess, and safari. “Minimalism was a big trend so we are seeing sculpted clothing in black/white and midnight navy. On the softer side, lingerie styling is coming back with soft pastel colours – a very feminine look.”
Tickets are $10 for the 2:30 p.m. matinee show and $18 for the 7 p.m. show. UFV’s Alumni Association will host a wine and cheese reception at the evening event.
The show would not be a success without the generous support from sponsors, including media
