Bright colors, patterns and textures on clothes ranging from vintage to bold styles painted the runway Friday night at the Trendz of Essence Modeling and Dance Troupe's annual fashion show.
It was a full house at Cardinal Hall in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center with some members of the audience having to stand up against the walls in order to catch a glimpse of the show.
This year's theme was "The definition of fashion." Different groups thought of words that define fashion and made different scenarios where these defining words would work.
From "strange" to "sexy" models brought the theme to life with their acting and dancing on the runway.
Aside from the fashion show, the event included some dance and singing acts.
Ti'asha Oglesby, president of Trendz of Essence, said after months of practice and organizing, seeing the show finally happen was relieving.
"I'm really pleased with the outcome," she said. "I had been involved with practice and putting together the event, so seeing it gave me a good feeling."
Trendz of Essence saw a big turnout this year, not only in the audience but also in the number of participants.
LaShay Moss, secretary of Trendz of Essence, said while she had expected a big turnout, what she saw was almost overwhelming.
"I was shocked a little," she said. "I think we are becoming more known around on campus and it's a blessing to see all these people come out and support us."
