Olds College students are immersed in the world of fashion design
Olds College invites Albertans to join them for three upcoming fashion events. Dubbed the 2010 Spring Line-Up, this annual collection of fashion-related activities is designed to give fashion students real-life experience and provide a forum to showcase their skills to the public.
On March 20, Olds College students and alumni will be involved in the Calgary exposé called Fashion Has No Borders. They will be involved in planning and showing their wares at the runway shows throughout the day.
”We are all very excited to have this opportunity to participate in the FHNB Exposé and are looking forward to showing visitors a little bit about what we love to do within the fashion and costume programs at Olds College,” says Lisa Sorestad, Apparel Technology Program Coordinator.
On April 10, Fashion Marketing students will run their annual Fashion Show in conjunction with the College’s Open House. During this packed house event, students will model and show apparel and accessories they have designed as a part of their studies. This event also provides students with hands-on experience planning and running a live fashion show.
The Spring Line-Up concludes with a special event hosted by the Olds College Calgary Campus at Southcentre Mall on April 17. This fashion show, in conjunction with Sears, will allow Fashion Marketing students to plan a fashion event from start to finish.
“Our fashion programs are being increasingly recognized as the best in the province,” says Jeff Suderman, Director of Student Recruitment at the College. “These events are a great way for prospective students to find out what an Olds College education is all about. They also present a special opportunity for alumni to reconnect and for our community to enjoy the creative abilities of students.”
