Presentation High School's 43rd Fashion Show at the Fairmont
Presentation High School in San Jose is holding their 43rd annual fashion show on April 3, 2009. This year the fashion show will be held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose and the theme will be "A Walk on the Styled Side".
The afternoon show will be from 11:30 - 2:30 p.m. and lunch will be served before the show. Tickets are $100 per person. The evening show will include dancing after the show. Tickets for the dinner show are $175 per person. High school students can purchase student tickets just for the evening show and dancing afterwards, no dinner is included, for $25 per person. The fashion show will benefit the endowment for financial aid. Last year the show contributed more than $165,000 to the fund.
Presentation is an all girls Catholic high school in Willow Glen, San Jose. I have two daughters attending the school and am proud to say that my Senior daughter and many of her friends from both Presentation and Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose are participating both as models and hosts. They have spent countless hours practicing for the show, going to fittings and shopping for the additional necessities (that is always a nice excuse they can use for another shopping spree) such as shoes, boots and dress or tuxedo. It is a great show and countless volunteers have spent the past year organizing everything into the details to produce a show as fine as this one.
I will be a back stage dresser as I have done in the past and will have to miss part of the show. However, this is a "thrilling" job and there is no time for mistakes. The girls come in quickly and need their next outfit ready to go. This year the fashion partners are: Betsey Johnson, Cache, Club Monaco, Eddie Bauer, Eli Thomas, Ibiss, J.Jill, Levi's, Macy's, The North Face, Prana, Talbots, and White & Black.
