“East Meets West” at San Diego Mesa College 35th Annual Golden Scissors Fashion Show
By Office of Communications
Mesa College fashion students take their talent to the runway with the annual Golden
Scissors Fashion Show. Themed “East Meets West,” the fashion show – an annual production
since 1981 – is a fun, fabulous, runway event for all fashionistas. It will be held
at 5:30 p.m., Friday, May 6, at the Sheraton Hotel on Harbor Island Drive.
“It’s a fun night and a fun way to culminate months of hard work, planning and collaboration,
and two semesters of intense study,” said fashion professor Meegan Feori. “We are
proud to showcases our students’ creativity and talent, and what the southern California
fashion industry has to look forward to when they graduate and enter the workforce.”
Over 100 pieces – from kimono themed garments to casual and business attire to hats
and children’s collections -- will make their debut. All pieces are original designs,
conceived and constructed by fashion design students.
In fact, the entire show is a student production. The fashion promotion class coordinates
the execution of the show, including publicity, fundraising and event production.
Mesa’s media majors take care of lighting and audio. Hair and make-up services are
provided by cosmetology students from San Diego City College. Design collections of
Mesa College fashion alumni will also be featured.
Golden Scissors kicks off at 5:30 p.m. at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina
with a VIP reception, silent auction, and opportunity drawings. All proceeds go toward
student scholarships. The runway extravaganza begins at 7:30 p.m.
VIP tickets are $50; $20 general admission with discounts for students and presale.
