Fashion designers made the final adjustments as models stepped into their creations before their work was showcased to the public. Bright personalities were reflected with bold colours while a mixture of soft satin, lace and ruffles showed more feminine styles. The event displayed an array of work from both the first and second year Diploma in Fashion Design students.
The “Petal by Petal Fashion Show” began seven years ago when the sorority’s founding president’s mother was diagnosed with the disease.

The event was well supported by the community with many residents volunteering their time and services. It was also an opportunity for students from the local school to exhibit their talents. The models for the evening included students from Opononi Area School, residents and members of the girls’ rugby team.

This upscale Scottsdale lounge hosts “Pretty in Purple,” a birthday bash for Scottsdale Fashion Week model Xaviera of the Agency Arizona. DJ Tricky T will spin funk, rock and mash ups, but the bar will be packed, so we doubt there’ll be a ton of dancing. Expect to mingle with gorgeous women and men from all over the Valley who make a living looking fabulous. And if that’s not a fun Friday, we don’t know what is. Do not expect, however, any cake.
When the apartment opened for business at 11 a.m., about 35 women arrived to buy the brightly colored silk and cotton saris, salwar kurtas (matching sets of long shirts and pants) and tunics.
