First-ever Virtual Fashion Show Coming to SLCC

 


The Salt Lake Community College Fashion Institute closes every spring semester by celebrating the talent and hard work of its senior Fashion Design students with a runway show. However, this hugely popular and successful in-person event was cancelled in 2020, due to the pandemic. Determined to give this year’s current crop of incredible designers an opportunity to show off their work, the college is hosting a first-ever virtual fashion show. The show dubbed Runway, billed as a virtual watch party with a digital runway and fashion films, will be held May 21 and again on May 26.


“Cancelling last year’s show, and still unable to host an in-person event this year, left many student designers disappointed,” says Mojdeh Sakaki, program manager of SLCC’s Fashion Institute and Interior Design program. “I couldn’t let the pandemic take away the joy of the much-anticipated Senior Students Fashion show. So, I requested a grant from the SLCC Arts & Cultural Events committee, and their generous support allowed us to move forward with this virtual show.”


With the expertise of Heidi Gress, Fashion Show Production faculty, 50 models, hair and makeup teamwork and four full days of filming and editing, a small army is making it happen. "The exciting part for me is guiding the collaboration process between the production students and the student designers as they conceptualize and style each show to give the individual designers a unique showcase of their final collections. Everything is a direct reflection of the hard work of all the students and the partnership with professionals in the local fashion industry."


Student designers are: Krystin Arroyo, Mariah Bodily, Cinthia Zarate, Sarah Roylance, Kyle Wheeling, Lisa Lee, Lucy Long, Calista Collier, Amelia Kranendonk, Nichole Smith, BreeKel Orton, Kenzie Moon, Justin Knight, Aoibheann Herrmann, Suqi Soleil and Anne Swiderski.


Production design students are: Jenica Jorgensen, Shaylin Coloma, Macie Powell, Braelin Dance and Madeline Hunter. Models are from the local company Niya Models, with hair and makeup provided by Warpaint Makeup Academy and production from High Castle Films.


“Thanks to Heidi and her students, we can now produce virtual shows if necessary,” Sakaki adds. “I cannot wait to see the final product. I must add that SLCC President Deneece Huftalin was the cheering force behind this event. She is a huge fan of all the students and the show.”
