The weather is warming up and the flowers are budding. This can only mean that spring is amongst us. Besides the beautiful Arizona conditions, one other surefire sign of this blooming season is the new flourish of fashion. All across the world, designers alike have released their spring lines in celebration of the transition from sweaters to skirts. One Valley school is looking to enter this season with fashion-forward spunk.
Catwalk in Session
What could be better than checking out this season’s latest trends first-hand, right? Well, the Mothers’ Guild of Xavier College Preparatory is already prepping for their annual scholarship fashion show benefiting the school’s very own students. Along with Saks Fifth Avenue, the school will host this year’s fashion show, “Cherish,” to present the latest spring looks to over 1300 guests on March 27, 2011 at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix Hotel.
Every year, the Guild hosts the fashion show in hopes of financially helping young women admitted to the Catholic community school. The school itself has been repeatedly recognized not only statewide, but nationally, too, as a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
Fashionably Educated
Parents of young ladies at Xavier, Cathy Hart and Betsy Haenel will oversee the XCP fashion show as Co-Chairwomen. Students from Xavier’s very own Class of 2011 will strut the runway, alongside Saks models, adorned in this season’s must-have apparel and accessories to benefit the Xavier Scholarship Fund. Last year, their “Bloom” fashion show rose over $250,000 in scholarship money.
“Most people do not know that Xavier has 35% of their students on scholarship. We are very proud to Co-Chair this event to support young women having the opportunity to attend such a wonderful school that provides so many diverse and enriching experiences to their students,” said Cathy Hart. “This fashion show is unique because all Xavier seniors are invited to participate. It is really a very special day for the girls thanks to Saks.”
