Samantha, Store Manager literally opens doors for so many people in this community. Last Tuesday,
Tyler Udall, Fashion Director, Blanche Macdonald's Downtown Campus, brought his Fashion Merchandising Program students into the store to complete 'an assignment in an afternoon'. Put together two outfits for a fashion photo shoot. Think about color, texture, layering, balance, era - vintage or modern, 'look' and statement. Present and discuss your choices. Consider suggestions from your audience. Everyone was totally involved, from the initial flurry of activity and oohs and ahs at the variety of possibilities to work with, to ensuring everyone had the best outfits and accessories, and finally, to finding just the right location to 'stage' the show.

The students had to complete their assignment without disturbing any of the regular shoppers (who were delighted to watch and learn) and leave the store as they found it: customer ready and beautiful. They were professional, enthusiastic, tactful, creative, and totally stylish! Their training is very apparent in the outfits they organized and in the way they instantly became models on their 'runway'. The positive way they interacted with us and with their teacher and fellow students was terrific!
The following photos are just a glimpse of the magic of a whole afternoon. Thanks Samantha, My Sister's Closet staff and Tyler Udall, and students from Blanche Macdonald's Fashion Merchandising Program, for new directions in learning and learning about style.
Beaded evening bag for that special event
Jewelry of all kinds
Fabulous mini-mini and exotic print in a blaze of twirl
Did that jacket come from the treasure chest behind her?
Never saw it until she put it on.
The chair is not for sale but all of the clothes are...sunglasses, too!
Teacher and student present. Look at those shoes!
Red soles - where are they going?
Never imagined this runway formal (shown at ECO Fashion Week)
combined with this jacket and big belt. Creative and different.
Men's fashions too!
Smiles all around at the end of a very productive afternoon
Surprise, appreciation and energy! Well done, all!
