Another date for your calendars, this time for California-based creatives: IIDA and Orange County City Center's 9th Annual Fashion Show will take over the Balboa Pavilion in Newport Beach on April 2 from 6–9 p.m. This year's theme: "Give My Regards to Broadway," and, in conjunction with this theme, participants will be challenge to create designs portraying Broadway characters. And, per usual, designers will race the clock to craft fashions from samples of various materials in their design libraries.
Bringing a philanthropic edge to the event, designers will be donating gently used clothing and accessories to the nonprofit Working Wardrobes, who will also receive the remaining designer fabric which they use to decorate its 10,000-sq.-ft. Career Center in Fountain Valley. And, a portion of the show's proceeds will benefit local interior design students through educational scholarships.
