Last Wednesday, Express Yourself Clothing went to AI's first ever senior collection fashion show featuring Spring 2014 graduate's Hannah Condon and Emily McGlynn. 
Here is what we had to say about the show:
* Fashion Show Review by Sabrina Kennelly- Manager:
AI's first ever fashion show proved to be a success with the two graduate's collection that we saw. Both designer's collection were very detail orientated and had differing inspirations. Graduated senior Hannah collection was inspired off of her love for figure skating. As you can tell from the pictures below, the designs are very detailed; especially the added rhinestones. In addition, I was especially fascinated with Hannah's inspiration of Iceland and it's natural resources as her backdrop for her collection. I found this inspiration to be not only creative, but an "out of the box choice". Pieces based off of natural resources included volcano, green moss, glaciers, and hot springs. Hannah's collection embodied and demonstrated perfectly Iceland's differing land. Emily's collection, which was based off of abandoned insane asylums collection proved to be very original.I was impressed with Hannah's use of buckles, which went perfectly along the them of insane asylums, illustrating through her collection of the concept of being "tied" or "locked" down. Both collections had original inspiration and I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.

Fashion show review- Rhiannon Mcgee - Apprentice
I enjoyed going to the fashion show, I appreciated that the
models were not all the stereotypical models seen on TV and in magazines. I
wish we had been able to stay for more time because I was curious as to what
the designers made. The one thing I was skeptical about was the set up. I found
it hard to watch the models without craning my next around to watch them walk
in. But I definitely want to continue attending fashion shows and hopefully be
able to host my own one-day.
Fashion Show Review by Stella Richardson: Founder
I would have to say that my favorite part of the show was seeing youth represented as models. I thought it was extremely inspiring and forward bound for teenage girls to be making an intentional fashion statement. My reasoning is that this demographic holds those who consume the media images from the fashion industry and it is important to see themselves represented in an iconic way. As a review of what they were wearing, I also found the idea of young ice skaters and a fresh idea, and also something that weaves the idea of youth and fashion together - since all of the young girls were actually figure skaters. Lastly, an interesting twist on this fashion show was the set up. It was intriguing to have a wrap around stage - it would be wonderful to see this at larger shows as a new way of presenting fashion.
