Cañada College to host annual fashion event

The Cañada College fashion department will put on its 30th annual "Artistry in Fashion" event on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will include outdoor shopping on the quad with clothing, jewelry and accessories by local designers, according to a press release. There will be a fashion show at 11 a.m. in the school's amphitheater featuring fashions for sale by the designers.

"Our program was somewhat a pioneer for this type of sale well before all the Art and Wine Shows in the Bay Area," said Ronda Chaney, the college's fashion chair, in a prepared statement.

Students with fashion lines can participate in the event as emerging designers. The event is an opportunity to test their products, hear from customers and determine their price points, according to the press release.

Cañada fashion students Naz Saeed and Rubab Huq launched their business, Kopolo California, at a past event to "rave review" and "high sales," according to the press release. Since then, the two are selling their clothing at various locations.
