\n23 student designers make show biggest ever
\n
\nKINGSTON, R.I. — April 21, 2003 — With 23 designers and more than 100 outfits, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fashion Merchandising Society\u2019s annual fashion show on April 23 is the biggest and best ever. <\/p>\n

\tTo be held at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom, the fashion show features the creations of 溏心vlog免费B站 students majoring in textiles, fashion merchandising and design. Admission is $5 for the general public, $4 for students. <\/p>\n

\tThis year\u2019s theme is “Stems\u2014design stems from inspiration.” <\/p>\n

\t“It\u2019s going to be so much better, because I have never seen so many people working in the sewing lab,” said Samnang Yen, a textiles major from Pawtucket. “For the last few weeks, I have been working in the lab until 2 in the morning.” <\/p>\n

\tElizabeth Nelson, a senior from East Providence, who is co-president of the society, said the show will feature the “best stuff ever; it\u2019s all really well thought out. We chose the theme of \u2018Stems\u2019 because our ideas and creativity stem from working with each other.” <\/p>\n

\tNelson said most students are completing the finishing touches for their outfits. “This is the best group I\u2019ve ever seen in terms of working together.” <\/p>\n

\tWith a set that will feature hundreds of silk flowers, the students\u2019 will model clothing lines that reflect whimsy, humor, romance and youthfulness. <\/p>\n

\tFor instance, Nelson\u2019s line, “Could\u2019ve been a Couch,” uses fabrics and tassels that one might find on furniture. <\/p>\n

\tDesigner Kerri Besse, of Pawcatuck, Conn., named her line “Lasso,” which features a western theme with cowboy hats and bandannas. <\/p>\n

\tYen has two of her own lines, “Sammy” and “Peek-a-Boo,” and she and a friend Ka Yan Kan, a senior textiles major from East Greenwich, share a line called “Revival.” <\/p>\n

\tSenior Danielle Tassone, of Foster, treasurer of the group, is preparing for her last 溏心vlog免费B站 fashion show with a line called “Bella” that features three evening gowns. <\/p>\n

\t“The show gets bigger and bigger every year and people who have never sewn before are getting help from more experience sewers, and their confidence grows as well as their talent,” Tassone said. “I have been helping two new sewers, Lori Trink and Marnie Safran, and they are very excited about the show.” <\/p>\n
