On March 28th, the International ILC will be hosting a multicultural fashion show called Rejoice
in the EME foyer at 7:00 PM. One
of the organizers, Mariam Hazhir, was inspired to organize this fashion show
because of the discrimination people can experience after moving to Canada. Mariam expressed that the organizers "would like to see a manifestation of the cultural mosaic
that is Canada through fashion, and they would like to Rejoice in the cultural wealth and diversity of Canada and seek to
promote a tolerant society that preserves these diverse Canadian values.” She loves
the fact that people can express both their individual style and their culture
through their clothing. We Booked
Mariam last month and wanted to share this event our readers. The fashion show, which will consist of
25 models, will include ethnic garments from many regions including Kenya,
Ghana, Afghanistan and Germany. In
addition, the show will feature dresses from Dare To Ware Love, an annual
gala held at Toronto Fashion Week. All proceeded from the event will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundations to
help children affected by AIDS in Africa.
For students, early-bird tickets are $7 or $10 at the door. Faculty and community members can
purchase tickets for $15. Tickets
are available at the Get Involved Center or the Campus Life Activities Desk in
UNC. We look forward to seeing you
there.
