DOHA: Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) has announced its 19th Annual Fashion Show ‘Pendulum’.
The unique show, featuring the collections of 25 sophomore, junior, and senior fashion students from VCUarts Qatar, as well as four senior students from the University’s Richmond campus, will take place on May 3. It will be held in partnership with Nasser Bin Khaled and Mercedes-Benz at The Westin Doha Hotel & Spa. ‘Pendulum’ will showcase the individual vision, creativity, and styles of VCUarts Qatar’s students. The collections on show will present an eclectic mix of day to evening looks that reflect the singular aesthetic of each student and their individual concepts. More than 100 garments, ranging from evening wear to children’s wear will be shown at “Pendulum”.
“Pendulum” is all about time,” said Sandra Wilkins, the Chair of VCUarts Qatar’s Fashion Design programme. Wilkins joined VCUarts Qatar in 1998 and the university has been holding a series of events for faculty, staff, students and alumni to celebrate its anniversary.
“The “Pendulum” theme represents our focus in establishing a design department that meets the needs of this growing and diverse industry. The whole fashion foundation of design is built on reimagining, re-proportioning, re-fabricating and making new again,” Wilkins said.
VCUarts Qatar alumna Selina Farooqui will be the guest designer at the show. Tickets cost QR125 and can be purchased online from http://www.qatar.vcu.edu/events/pendulum-fashion-show
