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.
