Oahu 4-H 2011 Fashion Revue

HOME | FORMS | PICTURES |

Where: University of Hawaii Art Auditorium When: Sunday, May 1, 2011 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Theme: Masquerade

This year’s Fashion Show/Exhibit/Photography contests are planned by the Executive Board. The tri-chairs for the Fashion Show are Aiko Doike, Staci Kohashi and Erin Voss. Kyrra Lau Eglinton is chairing the Photography Contest. The Fashion Show is a one-day event with the judging in the morning, lunch (catered) and the show to follow. We will serve a light lunch. We would like each club to bring two (2) different homemade desserts that are already cut into serving pieces (enough for 40 people).

The 4-H’ers can begin this project by getting out their sewing machines and start to sew, sew, sew!  For those who don’t want to sew, you may enter a ready-made garment.  This year instead of writing about your garment, the 20-second commentary will be about the 4-H’er who is entering the fashion show (see registration sheet).  Please e-mail your commentaries to roses@hawaii.edu and mail or deliver the hard copies by Wednesday, April 13th.

The photography contest requirements are listed below.  The photos and exhibit will be due on Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Judging will be held on Sunday, April 24th. All photographs and exhibits will be on display at the Fashion Show with their ribbons. After the Fashion Show, we want everyone to claim their photos and exhibits.

Committees Needed

We are looking for clubs to help chair the following Fashion Show committees: (1) Registration, (2) Securing Judges for Fashion Show, (3) Setting up the lunch, and (4) Scoring and awards. If someone is interested in collecting the Exhibit, help with the judging and setting up the display at the Fashion Show, we need someone to coordinate that.

Fashion Show Entertainment

There are many talented 4-H’ers who may want to show their talent. We are asking individuals or clubs to prepare a short 3-5 minute presentation to entertain the audience after the modeling and before the awards. Please let me know if a 4-H’er or your club would like to perform.

OBJECTIVES:

• Build self-confidence and poise by selecting, constructing and modeling garments.
• Develop skill in planning, selecting and making appropriate clothing for different occasions.
• Select suitable and enhancing accessories to meet one’s wardrobe needs.
• Model with confidence and pride your choice of garment.
• Develop good posture and grooming habits.
