Held in the heart of Ezell, many students, staff, friends and family flocked to witness the show. It also happened to be International Earth Day, which fitted the theme of the night — sustainability and supporting the environment through raising awareness. This night commended the seniors in the department and all their hard work throughout individual collegiate careers. In doing so, they showcased their works on the runway with student models. Senior fashion and merchandising student Kayla McEathron shared her story about her love of fashion and how eliminating sweatshops that abused their workers was a strong passion of her’s. According to McEathron, the main mission is not to change the world but to save it. “The seniors and I were very proud with how the fashion show turned out,” McEathron said. “We each had a role in the show to make it happen, and I thought everyone did a great job of coming together to make the show successful. It is a bittersweet feeling for all of us seniors….” The night concluded with an award ceremony and gifts. Donated prizes were provided by local businesses Cabana, Molly Green, Nordstrom, The Perfect Setting, The Escape Game, Jos. A Bank and Gus Mayer.

Nashville Fashion Week had nothing on Lipscomb fashion and merchandizing department’s Professional Women’s Event and Fashion Show that took place Wednesday night in Shamblin Theatre. The event was hosted by Leanne Smith, a Lipscomb management and marketing professor, who talked about the importance of presentation. “We need to think how we’re coming across to people,” Smith said. “You pay so much for education so you need to leave knowing how to present yourself.” The theme of the event was “Creating your best self,” where the idea was reinforced to the all-female audience, “You are unique. You are enough. You are beautiful.” Before the fashion show, junior Kendall Young, a contestant from “The Sing-Off,” sang “Perfect” by P!nk and “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper as a montage of fashion quotes were displayed in the background. Students modeled business-wear, while fashion and merchandizing students narrated the inspiration behind the outfits. “It was cool and inspiring,” said Gracen Sanders, a freshman who modeled at the event. “It was fun trying a different look.” At the end of the fashion show, audience members were encouraged to Tweet in fashion questions with the hashtag “LipscombWPE.” Smith and a representative from Blush Boutiques helped answer questions regarding what color to wear and where to shop. Audience members were also advised on how to accessorize for interviews, what kind of hair and makeup to do and what is appropriate to wear in the business world. “The event was definitely informative,” said sophomore Shelby Hunter. “I’ve never really known what to wear for job interviews so hopefully this will help.” Refreshments such as fondue and tea sandwiches were served...
