LUXE Fashion Show at Genesee Community College

Yesterday I attended the LUXE Fashion Show at Genesee Community College in Batavia, NY. The show directed by Professor Rick Dudkowski is in it’s 29th year. The experience of all the participants in the show annual event  is very obvious from the moment you walk in – everything runs like a seasoned and well oiled production.

It seems that every year the students outdo themselves from the year before. Many different areas of the college participate in the production of the show. The proceeds from the show are used to fund students events. Here is a link to the students in Professor Dudkowski’s class that produce the show. There were 11 scenes and students assumed all production aspects associated with the scene they coordinated. Several scenes had fashion items that were original creations of the students. The first scene in particular has a  Eco-Couture collection created by Brittany Moose and Kayla Palmer.  Brittany will be continuing her professional education as an apparel design student at the Fashion technology Program at Buffalo State College next fall. She is pictured on one of the slides below with Professor Dudkowski.

There was a lovely reception held after the show where light refreshments were served, a raffle was held and various fashion items were for sale. Here is a FLICKR link to some images from the show. Sorry about the image quality but I was sitting several rows back from the runway.
