Fashion students at Long Beach City College (LBCC) will be hosting their 34th Annual Fashion Awards Show, Vigilante en Vogue, on Thursday, May 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium (Bldg. J) of the Liberal Arts Campus (LAC), at 4901 East Carson St., Long Beach.
This years fashion show theme is based on comic book superheroes. The first segment of the show will feature garments inspired by super hero characters that were chosen by each design student for inspiration said Pamela Knights, LBCC Fashion Program Director. We are very excited to announce that we will be including a category of senior collections that were created for a fair trade co-op in Nicaragua called Nueva Vida, in which the students worked with organic cotton jersey to create a line of sportswear separates that Nueva Vida may produce to earn a sustainable living by increasing their market share in the United States.General Admission tickets are assigned seating this year and are available at the pre-sale price of $13, or $18 at the door the night of the show. VIP seating tickets are available this year at $25 which includes a beverage and snack. High School students may purchase tickets pre-sale or the night of the show for $8 with school identification.
LBCC will also be hosting a Goodwill clothing drive the evening of the show. Please bring a bag filled with clean, gently used clothing and receive opportunity drawing tickets to win terrific prizes. All proceeds go to help Goodwills employment training and job placement opportunities.
All proceeds will benefit the LBCC Fashion Program. For further information on the LBCC Fashion Program and Fashion Awards Show, call 562-938-4192 or email Knights at pknights@lbcc.edu
