Courtyard Couture

Fashionistas flocked to the Quad for "Courtyard Couture" a fashion event put on by Special Events and Promotions class (Fashion 225). Every semester this class has a group project to produce a fashion event.

Professor Erin Bianchi as well as the PR manger for Bloomingdales at South Coast Plaza, put all of the planning of this event into her student's hands. They were responsible for using their contacts to find all the local vendors at the event.

Vendors ranged from Lucy Love, Krochet Kids International, Le Brian, B.B. Dakota, H.B. Choppers, Tan2U, Bella Bleu, Jamba Juice, Peet's Coffee & Tea, and Kettle Corn who all had something to add to the mix. The students also donated some of their clothing to put up for sale.

A portion of the proceeds went to the fashion department's scholarship fund, and will help fashion students be able to attend fashion events for a lower cost.

An exciting aspect to the event was the raffle. For just a small price for the tickets, you could get Disneyland Park Hopper tickets, a free tan from Tan2U where Katie Cunningham has a mobile airbrushing service that comes to you, a $25 gift cards to either Gypsy Den, Macy's, or Bloomingdales, a Roxy suitcase, Wesc headphones, or a Laura Mercier beauty set.

The event was quite a hit with many people coming out to buy clothes from the vendors, check out the raffle, make some fashionable buttons, while listening to a booming DJ.
