The Olds College Fashion Institute to Host Charity Fashion Show
Theme: The Factory
This spring, forget about blooming flowers or soft rain showers. On April 5th, The Fashion Institute invites you to step inside The Factory. A world where apparel and costuming students take raw material and construct pieces that are anything but mass-produced. A secret workspace that echoes with the sound of steely-gazed models as their well-heeled feet pound the cold concrete. In a darkened room, a streak of light through paned glass illuminates the expressionless face of a lone mannequin. Those who enter The Factory will not leave as they came. Let your mind wander this mysterious space of molten metals and churning cogs as we ‘steel’ the show...
