IIDA NE Fashion Show 2015

November 5th was quite a day for a number of Mount Ida Interior Design students as well as our faculty members. We arrived early to help volunteer and set up for the show, during this time we helped to make the centerpieces, stocked each table with flyer's from the show, helped attendees to find their nametags at registration, and helped other firms prepare for the show! When 8PM rolled around everyone was in anticipation to see the three outfits on stage that we all worked on as a team. 

The theme of this years IIDA Fashion Show was SENSEation. Nicolette Gordon came up with an amazing concept,  the Jewel Beetle. The Jewel Beetle senses the smoke from a fire and lays it's eggs there, giving the idea for our sensations. Makayla MacSaveny wore the outfit representing smoke, Megan Jewell represented fire and Cassidy Dickeson was the Beetle itself.

We would like to thank Webster and Company for partnering with us to create these amazing outfits. Also, thank you to Aleta May Deyo and Alfredo Lujan from Mount Ida's Fashion department for advising us along the way and helping us put the pieces together. Lastly, thank you to Romario Accime for doing our models hair, and Sarah Malone for doing their makeup. We would not have had such a successful show without the help from all of these amazing people!

After the winners were announced, the after party started, which was arguably the best part of the night. Everyone danced the night away and celebrated the stress of the competition being over. We cannot wait to participate again next year!
