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.
An open house displaying student projects will take place from noon to 3 p.m. in the school's fashion department in building 3, room 255. People interested in the program can come to learn about course offerings and certificate programs. Pattern designer Sarah Veblan, an expert in design and fitting, will lecture in the classroom at 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., according to the school's website.
There will also be food vendors in parking lot 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Organizers request that attendees make a $10 donation upon entry, which will go toward student scholarships. Last year, the event raised $13,000.
The college is at 4200 Farm Hill Blvd. in Redwood City.
