The department of family and consumer sciences will present its annual Fashionably Late fashion show Sunday.
About 300 people are expected to attend the event, which will take place at the Horizon Convention Center, Instructor of family and consumer science Audrey Robbins said.
The show will be divided into style and fashion components, in which creative student designs will be shown.
Junior fashion merchandising major Kayla Couch is helping organize the event. Couch said she works with students from her class, and student models in the show.
"A call out for models was sent through e-mail to the Ball State [University] community," she said. "And many students responded well and are helping us."
Robbins said the show is a project where students from the fashion promotions class divide into six groups and each group has a different function in the organization of the event.
"This has only been the second time I do this project as a teacher," Robins said. "But as far as I know this show has been going on for many years"
She said the class has been working on the project since the start of the fall semester.
Senior fashion merchandising major Nichole Trickler is the marketing coordinator of the event. She said the project has had an impact on her academic development.
"It is a challenge," she said. "We face challenges every day, and events like this make you stronger and more organized, and you start to see what you are going to do in the real world."
Trickler said profits from ticket sales and money left from what the sponsors gave will be donated to the Little Red Door, a non-profit cancer agency.
"We are trying to promote throughout the Muncie community what Ball State has been working on," she said. "We want to make an impact by donating to a local charity, to show that we are supportive."
