The ECU Apparel and Interior Merchandising Organization’s 14th annual Fashion Show will be held Thursday, April 5 at 8 p.m. at Brook Valley Country Club. This year’s theme is “Into the Wild.”
Tickets are $10 for students, $20 for guests and include heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets can be purchased at Bostic Sugg Furniture or these participating boutiques: Truly Yours, Bevello, Catalog Connection, Shimmer, Votre, My Sister’s Closet, Escape Spa and Who is Rose. There are a limited number of tickets but any remaining seats will be available at the door.
The student-run show provides learning opportunities from communications and negotiating to event and time management and leadership skills. The fashion show also is a fundraiser which helps provide opportunities for students to attend events such as the Atlanta Apparel Mart and New York showrooms, and to learn about different careers in the industry. There are about 50 students including AIMO members and merchandising majors helping in the show.
