Cabrini College’s student-run Body Image Coalition will host their fourth-annual Be(YOU)tiful Fashion Show, which is free and open to all students, faculty, staff, and the public.
- Wednesday, Feb. 20 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Grace Hall Atrium
Guest Speaker: Darryl Mace, Ph.D.
Cabrini students, faculty, and staff of all shapes and sizes proudly strut the runway to promote love for our bodies and for ourselves. The show also includes poetry, dance, music, video, and comedy. Gracelina will outfit the models with fun, funky, and elegant items, which will also be available for purchase, with proceeds benefitting the Body Image Coalition.
For more information about Gracelina’s “Inspired Accessories at Fashionable Prices,” visit www.gracelina.com. Clean, gently used jeans will be collected for those in need. Sodexo, Cabrini’s dining services partner, will donate delicious food for the event, free for all attending. See the Life-Size Barbie, built according to how she would actually look if she were human-sized!
Barbie is currently on display outside of Founder’s Hall, Room 95.
Last year, Michelle Filling-Brown, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Cabrini’s English Department, offered reflections about how the fashion industry distorts images of beauty and how to change it issues through the lens of her academic expertise in women’s studies. |
