Due to lack of participation, the senior fashion show “Hello Goodbye” was cancelled.
“It’s disappointing,” fashion teacher Barbara Monzcka said.
Junior Chandler Barr agreed.
“It was very sad because we put a lot of work into it,” Barr said.
The show, which was scheduled for Monday, May 24, was going to be the first Seaholm fashion show since 2007.
In the previous show, students of all ages were allowed to participate, while only seniors were able to sign up for this year’s show.
Fashion students had been planning the show for nearly two months.
A total of 12 boys and 42 girls first signed up to be in the show, but as the date of the fashion show approached, only three boys and 20 girls were left to model.
“I was really looking forward to show,” junior Maddy Schiefer said. “We even had shirts made for the actual day.”
The show’s proceeds were going to benefit Derby teacher Redi Abazi, who is undergoing treatment for stomach cancer.
When the class realized there were not enough models, they were forced to tell the stores the bad news.
“We had to contact the stores to tell them the show was called off,” Barr said. “They were disappointed.”
The stores that were going to participate in the show include, Moosejaw, The NorthFace, Lucy, QuickSilver, Roxy, Guys ‘N Gals, Rear Ends, Adam & Eve, Annie Sez, Flash, Oliver Trendz, Lexi Drew, Claymore, Lost and Found, Barneys Co. Op., Christiane La Rue, and Tender.
Ultimately, it was a class decision not to go through with the show.
“A week and a half ago, the class met for 40 minutes and discussed the pros and cons of going through with the show.” Monzcka said. “The class decided not to go through with the show since there were not enough people, and models kept dropping out.”
