Come join Pan African Union on a mind-blowing night to celebrate the community, up and coming designers, models and entertainment in the Los Angeles area!Icandi Styles is no stranger to fashion, with a few boutiques in the area and a large fashion following they were the perfect fit. Models looked great as they graced the runway. AGNB radio was in the house to represent for the college .This year, I attended the fete as a guest and was met with a sea of familiar and new faces. I took in the runway show from the VIP section with a fellow CSDH alum. The event took place in the Great Hall at College and drew a huge crowd from both the university and the community. Over 70 designs were presented on student models. These looks were designed by a wide range of talent, from students who’d picked up sewing within the past year to established professionals like Icandi Styles. My favorite designs included beautiful and ultra-feminine dresses, and one look that was positively desert chic.

Attending the show as a guest was a new experience for me. I had always been backstage in the past, experiencing all the stress and nervousness that any designer or organizer can expect to feel. As an alum, I coasted in and received entrance without having to state my name. I was served grilled shrimp on a silver platter, given a goody bag and escorted to the VIP section. All in all, the experience was nothing short of dazzling. Till next year!
