MUCFD: Sustain the Runway- a job well done
Apr 21st
All the hard work has finally paid off. The MUCFD team successfully completed their annual fashion shows with outstanding reviews. There was a slightly larger crowd than the previous night, and even though Friday’s show brought cooler weather, those in attendance were far from disappointed. Like Thursday night, the clothes looked fabulous, the room looked chic, and the models owned the runway.
“Everyone looked great, the clothes were amazing and I cannot believe that they weren’t professionally made! It goes to show how talented these designers are!” said audience member of the second night, Megan McGann.
Backstage after the show, the designers sighed with relief once their collections were off of their models and back into their garment bags for retirement. There was excited chatter about some designers making a comeback for next year’s show. As well as returning designers, many others who were involved in the show, plan to make their designing debut for 2011’s show.
So, the questions remain: Who will model? Who will design? What will be the extravagant theme for MUCFD’s 2011 runway show? You will have to wait to find out! Until next time…

MUCFD: Sustain the Runway opening night
Apr 17th
Opening night was a success!
Last night, as the designers placed finishing touches on their pieces, the Aveda hair and make-up team meticulously teased and braided each strand of the models’ hair. The club members straightened up the many rows of chairs and tested music and lighting. A large group of excited people waited for them to be ready outside the doors of the Oxford Community Center. Models and designers waited nervously in line by collection, while club members worked quickly to organize them in a timely fashion.
“It was hectic backstage making sure everyone and everything was in perfect order, but luckily, the feedback from the audience showed no knowledge of the chaos,” said MUCFD event planner, Anne Kash Dobbins.
Seven collections, each with twelve pieces of student-created clothing, graced the catwalk at the “eco-chic” runway show. Audience members raved about the professionalism of the designers’ impressive, high fashion pieces. Nicola Ording, club president, showed her collection last and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

MUCFD: Sustain the Runway update
Apr 15th
Preparation for MUCFD’s Sustain the Runway fashion show has not been easy. Designers have been working around the clock to perfect their pieces. Models have been meeting a couple times a week for the past three weeks to meet with their designers, get properly fitted into their garments and practice their cat walk.
On the day before the show, MUCFD members have worked from the early morning to build the set and decorate the room in the Oxford Community Arts Center Building. The show’s models met in the early evening to have their first dress rehearsal.
“Having a good song to walk down the runway really helps motivate you to release your inner model,” said Jacklyn Apostolik, a model for the show. They were critiqued by MUCFD members to help perfect their walks and poses.
After the models were dismissed, the members of the MUCFD stayed, and continued working to embellish the room.
The first show is today, April 15th at 7 pm. Seats will fill up quickly so come early!
