Posh by Honolulu Community College Fashion Technology Students
The Honolulu Community College Fashion Technology Program presents Posh, a student designer fashion show Saturday, April 27, at the Marine Education & Training Center at Sand Island, featuring the designs of 19 graduating senior designers, as well as other students.
“This is the biggest senior class I’ve ever had,” says Joy Nagaue, associate professor and head of the fashion technology department. “We’ve sold out of tickets already, and this is the fastest we’ve sold out – in about four days. But we decided to offer standing-room-only tickets.
“Besides designing and sewing, the students have worked so hard on putting this show together. They take a fashion show production class by Tania de Jesus, and have been putting on fundraisers, such as car washes, to help pay for a lot of the expenses.”
Standing-room-only tickets cost $10 (does not include refreshments) and can be purchased at HCC or at the door the night of the event. Doors open at 6 p.m. for regular ticket holders, and at 7 for standing-room-only. The fashion show starts at 7:30. For more information, call 845-9203.
