Philadelphia University’s Fashion Show: Recap
Models On the Runaway @ the Philadelphia University Fashion Show
Vibrant garments, charmeuse gowns, and inspiring designs streamed down the runaway for A Tribute to Elegance on Saturday, May 8t, at Philadelphia University.
Student fashion designers presented their stunning capstone collections during the 2010 annual fashion show held at the Academy of Music. The event earned it’s title as one of ‘the largest fashion events’ in Philadelphia with an audience of 1,500 people.
The Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation was the presenting sponsor, NBC10′s Bill Henley and Lori Wilson emceed the show, and TopNotch Records recording artist, Whitney Wolanin sang a few songs to get the crowd going.
Fashion design major Rachel Wendling opened the runway with high-fashion elegance and her award-winning sailor themed evening-wear collection. The gowns were recognized for their exquisite design, unique presentation, and intricate detail-placement of white boat rope to accentuate their free-flowing form.
Rachel received both the Frank Agostino Award and the FIA Award Best Senior Collection. Her designs were, modestly speaking, graceful, radiant, and blossoming in spirit.
This electrifying event concluded with an exclusive after-party at The Bellevue. It truly was a night to remember! Can’t wait til next year!
