Black and White Fashion Night

Text and photos by Krista Milliken, Membership and Relations

On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, the University of Regina’s Paul J. Hill School of Business had their Black and White Fashion Night with proceeds going to the MS society.

If you weren’t there, you missed seeing some of the hottest fashions for the coming season (those who were in attendance will agree with me on this).

Fashions were showcased from stores such as: Le Chateau, Esprit, Off Axis, Marler, Forever Trendy Fashions, Hall and Rae, Gap, Coda, Synapsis, World of Trout, Marbella, NWL and J Michael’s. We saw everything from sun dresses, cocktail dresses, casual jeans, fabulous shirts, off the hook fashions for guys and of course those “gotta have” shoes.

The Master of Ceremonies was Matt Dominguez from Exit Realty, who - I have to say - was extremely funny. Strutting their stuff on the runway were models from the U of R, Exit Realty and Capital Pontiac (both executive event sponsors). Other sponsors for the event were Moxies (on location serving their outrageous white chocolate brownie) and Richards Beauty School, who provided the models with their flashy ‘dos and beautiful makeup. While munching on the scrumptious brownies, participants could enjoy the“drink of the night” which was a Chocolate Martini. Watching the bartenders make the drinks was almost as good as the drink itself!

Like I said if you missed it, you missed out on a great night for a great cause - maybe you will be able to catch it next year. Either way, you should keep an eye out for all of these fabulous participants to find out what is the next project they have up their sleeves! Great job by the committees and the organizers and a big hand for Tori and Liz who did a fantastic job chairing this FABULOUS event!
