Showcase '86: more to fashion than meets the eye
Showcase ’86, a fashion extravaganza pro
duced by juniors Mary Pelletier and Denies
l.emons. was held Friday night in the Carson Hall
dining room. The showcase, sponsored by the
President’s Council, included 27 models and 12
technical assistants, all University students.
Pelletier said preparation for the show began
in October and continued with research during
Christmas vacation, mode! calls and selections in
January and production plans and rehearsals
through April.
The show was divided between Pelletier,
who was in charge of the fashions, and I.onions,
who was in charge of production. In addition,
Lemons said, “this year's show involved more
choreography and theatrics than the ’85 show. It
was a much more elaborate production “
Commenting on the fashion aspect of the
show, Pelletier said. “The clothes this year
represented a great mix of fashion styles and
economic levels, which 1 think provided a well
rounded show.”
Swim, formal, jean, preppie, black and
white. Caribbean and avant-garde wear were
some of the different fashions that comprised the
12-set. 1 Vi-hour showcase. Seven local stores
provided the clothing: The Closet. Jay Jacobs.
Squire, The Trading Company, Track ’N’ Trail,
the University Bookstore and The Wild Pair.
• In attendance at this year’s showcase was
President Chris Cusick of Academy One Inc., a
modeling school in Portland
“Obviously the show wasn't a New York
show but considering the facilities, they did a
nice job, showing creativity and talent.
"The technical side of the show — the
lighting and sound — was supurb. It was very
professional.” he added,
“The show was more gimtcky than the real
market. Currently the fashion market is
sophisticated and simple." Cusick said.
"However, due to the nature of the audience, the
show was properly produced."
Also in attendance was Rosemary Ridenour
iluserik a freelance fashion coordinator, who
said, "Besides the one error with time lapses lx*t
ween the sets, it was an otherwise fine
production."
Senior Michelle Payer, who was a model last
year as well as this year, said, "I was really ner
vous backstage, but by the first set. I could feel
the rapport with the audience, and I became
relaxed and comfortable."
Pelletier said she thought of the concept of
producing a showcase for educational reasons "1
want to put a portfolio together of the show and
send it to the Fashion Institute of Technology in
New York City, the school.! hope to attend after
graduation at .Oregon.. . ° •
"Hopefully after graduation at the institute. I
can become one of the'top fashion consultants In
the world." ' • ‘ „ V
Lindsay thinks Pelletier, who is. a business
major minoring in dance, has fc good chance to-be
accepted. "She seems like a great organizer, and
it is obvious that she put a lot of time into the
show. You have to want it from the inside and it
appears that.-she'does." Lindsay Said
Lemon* is also a business' major with a dance
minor. "I want to pursue the.business or manage
ment administration side of the arts!” she said.
. "And. being in charge of the production side of
the show has given me valuable experience."
•• Senior Fred Freeman, one of this- year's
models, said that besides being an event that
displayed clothes, the showcase "helped all of us
with poise and self-confidence. It helped us
become more confident in front of people ."
Pelletier credits two people involved in the
show, emcee. Hlairie-Erickson and 'backstage
manager Michelle Meckstrbth. ; . .
About 250 people attended this -year's
showcase — half the number that attended
Showcase ’85,
"lest year the crowd was rowdy and loud
while this year's audience was more serious,”
Pelletier said. "I think that quality is more impor
tant than quantity, so this year's audience was ex
cellent despite the numbers"
So, Showcase *86 came to an end and as the
lights were being taken.down, the chairs arranged
to proper order and the stage:disasseud»led What
were Pelletier and .Lemons doing?
"We are planning for next year.''
