Fashion Show

                The FCSFA 481, Promotions Class, sponsored a fashion gallery on Sunday, April 10^th to support the 2011 Ball State fashion design students. The fashion gallery featured nine designers. As a class, we choose to do a fashion gallery rather then a runaway that was used in previous classes. The event was called All Dolled Up, which featured models who resembled Barbie dolls and a gallery that resembled the inside of a home with different rooms. Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga were our inspirations for the models. The model’s hair consisted of flattening and creating bangs. The model’s make up consisted of a pale foundation, bright pink blush, and bright blue, purple, or green eye-shadow with false eyelashes.

                All Dolled Up consisted of nine designers. Each designer had a different theme for their show room. We allowed them to choose their theme and the class was to build it. Nick’s room featured a white open space. He wanted it to resemble a museum.  Each room was a challenge, but all the rooms looked so good in the end.

                During the show, the models were to be life-still models. The guests were free to roam around from room to room. The show had a DJ that played fun, hip music. Appetizers and drinks were provided for our guests. When guests first walked in they could see if they were a winner in our door prizes our class had collected. The overall show was a huge success!!!

Press Day

On March 23, 2011 I attended a Press Day Event to support the promotions class of spring 2011, FCSFA 481. The event started from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It was held at Ball State University in the Simpson Lounge in the Applied Technology Building.  The hosts of Press Day were the girls who are currently enrolled in FCSFA 481 and four other girls.

The activity was a press day for the fashion show event which is being held on April 10th in Cardinal Hall from 5-7 p.m. Press day consisted of getting the word out and encouraging fellow students to attend the exhibition. Girls in the FCSFA 481 class were to attend the event to inform and socialize with potential people who were interested in attending the exhibition. They were to inform others of the fashion event which is showcasing the 2011 class of fashion design. At the event, there were light refreshments of punch, deserts, and appetizers. People who attended press day were able to enter their name into a drawing to win free tickets to the show. There was a booth set up in the corner where people could buy tickets.
