Flashbulbs pop and the audience applauds wildly as models gracefully sashay down the catwalk.

The featured fashions push the boundaries of creativity, ranging from elegant, traditional ensembles to futuristic cocktail gowns.

Are we on the runways of Milan? Actually, we’re at Art Center’s South Campus, and the designers are … high school kids.

The much-loved annual Saturday High Fashion Show will be tomorrow, December 11, at Art Center’s South Campus, featuring the work of Saturday High students. Two shows will be held, at 6 and 8 p.m.

This annual show features more than 40 pieces, designed by more than 25 Saturday High students and worn by dozens of models. A “behind the scenes/making of the show” video montage and celebratory post-party with live music will follow.

“We are thrilled to present the fifth installment of this remarkable fashion show,” says Director of K-12 Programs Paula Goodman.

“Our fashion show is a wonderful way to showcase our students’ hard work and recently acquired skills.”

All fashions are created in Saturday High classes and along with the show are a sort of “final project” for students.

Saturday High participants, teens in grades 9 through 12, spend their Saturdays learning how to design, conceptualize and ultimately create their final piece, learning theory and some sewing skills along the way.

Many of the students envision a future for themselves in the fashion industry.

Tickets to the fashion show are $10.  For more information, email saturdayhigh@artcenter.edu.
