The Fashion Show: Black & Gold


An Exclusive and Exceptional Night Achieved

By Aya Kordy

On the 22nd of January, the auditorium was fashionably decorated with black and gold drapes that hung from the ceiling. The High School Student Council took a lot of time, energy and preparation to organize an exquisite night filled with interesting surprises and unexpected performances. The fashion show was a success.

The show commenced with a speech given by Dr. Joyce Martinez, the head of school, followed by a speech given by Ingy Fahmy, the student body president. Thirty-five high school students participated in the event in front of an overly crowded audience. The fashion show consisted of 15 acts, from imitating cultures such as Spanish, Arabs and Bedouins all the way to portraying characters like cowboys, sport players, Danny and Sandy, and Michael Jackson, to an Egyptian customized wedding scene. Each act had its own costumes, props, and a distinctive song that went along with the theme. The amount of diversity portrayed by the students was a reflection of how unique the Schutz community is. The audience appreciated each and every act in its own way.

The purpose of this event was as a fundraiser project for the HSSC to raise money in order to renovate the current student lounge. According to the council members, this goal is highly attainable now that the Fashion Show proved to be an over the top sensation! The council now not only has enough money to buy new furniture for the lounge, but also is able to afford re-painting the lounge’s wall and possibly even redoing the floor.

The success of such an event lies primarily on how hard the students involved worked together to create such an elaborate show. With only having practiced three times before the actual performance, the students were able to impress the audience with scenes that seemed to be professionally rehearsed for, for months prior to the event. Kudos to all our talented Schutz models, and a particular appreciation for the vast support from the audience who attended.
