It is no doubt
that the 30th annual FACES SIBS Weekend Fashion Show was a
success. 30 years on the runway is a
fantastic commitment by this strong organization and I was highly impressed. I
deeply admired the “Embrace the Natural” scene choreographed by Lauren Holland.
It was amazing to see such beautiful black women embrace their natural curls
especially in a society that typically shuns it. The “Leather and Denim” scene
choreographed by Shambrion Treadwell was very intriguing and featured a various
array of jean shorts, jackets, and black leather. My personal favorite was the “1984”
scene choreographed by Olivia Goins. The leotards and high knee socks were very
cute and gave the audience a nostalgic taste of the 1980s. Who obviously
doesn’t love neon colors?
I admired the
fact that they featured local designers such as John Dean; it was impressive to
see that such talent existed in the small city of Athens. Also a freshman poet,
Marcus J. Cole, blew away the crowd with his performance of his poem “The Stylationship”.
However, the best was saved for last,
Dark Couture is a signature of Faces Fashion Show and like always it was chic,
sexy, and ultimately entertaining.
Overall, the SIBS Weekend fashion show a phenomenal success. Kudos to
all the gorgeous models and the Executive Board, it was obvious a lot of effort
was put in and it definitely turned out to be a hit.
