The Student Fashion Association at Sacramento State prepared for their spring 2015 fashion show by holding a modeling casting call for all shapes and sizes.

Students and others were able to attend the casting call where they would be judged by the designers and stylists for the show.

The casting call, held in the University Union, was set up with a mock runway and the judges seated at the end of the runway overlooking the models that walked in.

The casting call is something routine for SFA but the club decided to do something different with this year’s casting call.

Children were also invited to attend as a chance to become a model for one of the designers creating a children’s clothing line.

Previous fashion shows consisted of student designers and stylists who would pick several models each to showcase the clothing. The upcoming show will be no different aside from the new addition of children strutting down the runway.

SFA president and business major Jessica Wilde is in charge of booking all meetings and events. She said the theme for the upcoming fashion show being held in the spring will be a project runway theme, the same as the previous year.

“I like to do a lot of the behind the scenes ’cause I like to see how it all comes together,” Wilde said.

Ashley Goins, a 21-year-old apparel marketing and design major, will be styling for the first time in the upcoming fashion show. Inspired by legendary designer Coco Chanel and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, Goins hopes to bring a more modern but classic look to the runway.

“I love every kind of style. I would go edgy, I would go classic, I would go sophisticated, whatever style it is,” Goins said. “I have been going on YouTube studying a lot of styles for people who want to go out on the town.”

Public Relations Chair, Talisha Lowe has had the opportunity to dip her fingers in all aspects of SFA. Her first semester in fall 2012 she was a stylist, and every semester since she has been the Public Relations chair. Lowe has also had the chance to model for herself.

“I feel it’s [modeling] more challenging than production or styling because styling you have more creative control and with production obviously you do most of the work too,” Lowe said.

Lowe talked about how individuals are usually comfortable with the way they look and they usually know what they like, but in modeling it is about what the designer or stylists like so it can be an uncomfortable change.

Celia Boyce, senior business and apparel marketing and design major, has been designing and sewing clothes since her junior year of high school. She is used to only creating clothes for her sisters, but decided to branch out this semester and create a collection for the runway.

“I’m trying to come out of like my comfort zone and design for like other types of like bodies and like you know, just because I’m so used to my sisters and I,” Boyce said.

SFA is not only for apparel marketing and design majors. There are plenty of positions within the group including learning how to organize and put on a fashion show.

“If you are interested in fashion, but that’s not your major, it’s still a place for you here,” Lowe said.
