Such excitement for the John Casablancas Institute Grad Fashion Show at The Roundhouse, a spectacular community space that despite being a large venue, wraps itself around a runway and truly highlights celebrations and brings its audience close. The big, box cameras were set up early and photographers gathered at the foot of the runway. Naturally, phones were out and texts were sent continuously. I sat with a proud Grandmother, who was observing a first modelling assignment by her young grand daughter. Grandmother, a stylish model herself, is considering writing a blog about her travels as she follows her grand daughter's career. Fantastic that she was seated in the front row, where I would like to see all parents and grand parents of such talent.
Loved the one page pink program with CORE Grads and FAD Grads listed on one side and fantastic Sponsors, on the other side. Thanks to inspirational speakers: Mark Savard and Andrew Slusar, too. So important to recognize and acknowledge Staff, Sponsors and Supporters! Dianna Drahanchuk and I would like to thank Instructor, Melanie Kroeker McIntosh, for the invitation to John Casablancas Grad Fashion Show and for the opportunity to see such confident, statement making designs and one of a kind looks. Loved the colors, the print messages and the expert tailoring. Great to know that these clothes are meant to be worn and worn with energy and pizzazz. John Fluevog shoes not only complimented the styles but also ensured a stylish, strong walk down the runway.
Such happy Grads! Such an enthusiastic, responsive audience. Repeat, please!
