Prairie View, TX, February 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- February 21-27, designated SIFE’s Texas Fashion Week at Prairie View A&M University is set to spotlight student models, designer fashion and hair showcases, and a business expo. Since Fashion is a lifestyle that should be lived 24/7, Celestial Hall, the event producer set out to include a myriad of events. There is something for every one from the obvious to the sublime.
Several days of fashion, hair, art, accessories, workshops, lectures and parties will dominate the 7-day event Sunday through Saturday for the 2010 Texas Fashion Week. The event is a triumph for Hall, a junior marketing/fashion design major from Missouri City, Texas. It is an expanded version of the first event Fashion Week Prairie View, created by Hall in spring 2009.
The event will showcase the talented students with strong interests in fashion at the university and provides an opportunity to educate and entertain the students, while creating economic opportunities for the young designers.
The great kickoff will be a fashion movie marathon, followed by a lecture on African Americans in Fashion History. The audience will share in the experiences from the African inspired fashions, textiles and colors through the contemporary designers including Willi Smith, Karl Kani and Tina Knowles, to name a few.
The Fashion Show of Shows will feature emerging student designers, Claratoli by Celestial Hall, UJ Fashions by Uniquka, Ettrina Mill of Emill, Exotic by Jazz Dot, Skinny Guy by Tory Ramirez, Spank Me by Brittney, Ro Collections by Summer Shepard and Nenaji by Nenaji. The designers work highlights the making of the PV Man and Woman segment in a cascade of colors and cuts, loaded with tribal accessories and flair. Visiting Houston Designers Dutchesz by Monica, JR Lecour by Terry Ladett-Hall and Top Notch Designs by Mocca will also make a guest appearance to cap of the evening showcases. Book-ending the week will be the stylistic Hair Show by rising cosmetologists and professionals from the industry. More than 80 models have been selected by the designers at a special model call hosted by Hall.
Hall said the event will spotlight fashion and also showcase local models and artists that students could identify with and earn the right to say “I knew them when!” In fact, the student photographers also got the chance to participate and get the right shot.
"There is so much talent at Prairie View A&M University and am glad that the students took advantage of the opportunity to be seen in a positive light,” says Frederick V. Roberts, Esquire, SIFE’s Advisor. “I am very proud of Celestial and her leadership in taking on this monumental event. For three years I looked for this to happen and Miss Hall stepped up to the plate and made it happen.”
The success of the 2009 event boosted Hall’s confidence to make this year’s event bigger and better. “It’s going to be really big,” says Hall. More works from artists and photographers will be included. Additionally, Hall is launching the Collegiate Designers International, an organization for college designers.
Closing out the week will be the Prairie View Fashion alumni recognition which will include workshops, seminars, a luncheon and the Little Red Dress Competition, opened to high school and college designers. Proceeds from the event will support the American Heart Association, heart disease awareness program.
