Note from Dr. Jennifer Banning:
Dear FCS Teachers, We would like to invite you and your students to the 19th Annual Illinois State Fashion Show “Cinema” on Friday April 24, 2020 in the Brown Ballroom on the campus of Illinois State University. We are encouraging student groups from Family and Consumer Science programs to visit campus for this spectacular, STUDENT-RUN event. As faculty, we are always absolutely amazed at the professional event our students accomplish each year and believe it’s an excellent learning opportunity for high school and middle school students interested in pursuing fashion design or merchandising. For our FCS friends, we offer a backstage tour and special ticket pricing—options not available to the general public. The backstage tour starts at 4:30pm, doors for the fashion show open at 5:00pm, and the show itself starts at 7:00 pm. At the backstage tour students will have an opportunity to meet with designers and models and hear a brief discussion from the Fashion Show Director on what it takes to put on the fashion show. This tour will end by 5:00pm, leaving you and your students with plenty of time for a relaxed meal before the show at one of the various eating establishments within the Bone Student Center: https://bonestudentcenter.illinoisstate.edu/services/food/ All tickets for high school or junior high students and their faculty chaperones are $5 each and include special reserved seating for the show. Tickets should be paid for by credit card when arriving at the Brown Ballroom (please arrive by 4:15pm to arrange for payment). The university box office no longer accepts any form of payment other than credit card. Parking is available (for a small fee) in the Bone Student Center parking lot. The following link provides additional parking information: http://bonestudentcenter.illinoisstate.edu/about/parking/ So that you can plan accordingly, the fashion show should last approximately 1 hour, putting you and your students “back on the road” by approximately 8:30 pm. If anyone would like to arrive by 3:30pm, a tour of the Fashion Design and Merchandising facilities in Turner Hall is available. Included will be the newest exhibition in the Lois Jett Historic Costume Collection Gallery, “Fashion in Film: As Seen on the Silver Screen,” featuring fashions that reflect movie inspiration. For those who arrive at 3:30pm for the Turner Hall tour, we will walk you over to the Bone Student Center in time for the ticket purchasing at 4:15pm and the backstage tour at 4:30pm. If you plan to attend any of these events, I need an “RSVP email” reply by Wednesday April 1 to let me know. Please provide me with: -your name (and any other faculty chaperone that may be attending) -the name of your school -how many students you will be bringing with you -NOTE: the number of tickets reserved is the number that must be purchased the night of the show, as per new box office guidelines. We want to make sure we have OUR students ready and waiting for your arrival and that we have enough seating reserved! |
