There is a dress made out of a screen door and leaves, yes, actual green leaves. And a gown constructed from bubble wrap. Don’t forget the garment beautifully transformed from bed sheet to summer ensemble. Don’t forget about the hot pink, punk mini dress with black zippers zig- zagging across the front.

The 28th annual Mesa fashion show is back and shaking it up at this year’s Golden Scissors Fashion Show on May 15. The theme is “Fashion Exposed” and will be played out through the raw, daring designs and also via the live streaming video showing behind-the-scenes action all night.

The runway will light up at 7:30 p.m. at the Town and Country Resort but show up with your VIP tickets to attend a special reception and silent auction at 5:30 p.m.

There will be about three complete collections presented on the catwalk, individually submitted pieces all created by current Fashion students and a featured designer (a Mesa alumni).

The categories that the fashions fall into are casual, career, club wear, children’s, special occasion, evening, fantasy and retro re-do. Within these, students could submit reduce, reuse, recycled pieces made entirely from things they already had laying around house.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. You can purchase them from anyone in the Fashion Department (visit B-103) or through Pay Pal.

The Mesa Fashion Department, along with fellow designers, was recently featured on San Diego Living (CW, Channel 6). To see their video visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65v_vseH9s. Nothing will beat seeing them live and in person.
