FACES SIBS Weekend Fashion Show

Autumn Perry-Robinson

It is no doubt that the 30^th 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.
