Diversidad sponsors cultural fashion show

Styles ranging from classy chic and hip-hop to international and native cultural will be on display tonight at the Sanchia Patrick Diversidad Fashion show.
The show, sponsored by the Student Government Association, will be held at 7 p.m. in Georgia Hall in the Tate Center.
Tickets are available at the Tate Student Center Cashier’s Window.
Funds raised through the $3 student and $5 non-student tickets will help support the SGA scholarship program benefiting local high school seniors who plan to attend the University, said Conrhonda Baker, a sophomore from Elberton.
Baker said 20 models from many fraternities, sororities and cultural organizations will model more than 100 outfits.
“We have a very diverse group of people this year,” she said.
Clothing from Vietnam, the Philipines, Ghana, India and the United States will be represented, Baker said.
Vintage clothing from Dynamite Clothing and Lotus Eaters will be featured in the show in addition to other American styles, she said.
“Come out and support the school,”Baker said. “The scholarship helps get kids in here.”
She said students also should attend to “celebrate diversity through clothing.”
“It’s an opportunity to learn about different cultures,” Baker said.
SGA President Latham Saddler, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C. said he predicts the show will be both entertaining and educational.
