UCO students to present fashion show

University of Central Oklahoma fashion marketing  students will present a free fashion show that offers a glimpse into the culture and traditions of Turkey.

“Peace at Home,  Peace in the World, Living the Moto” is part of the UCO Passport to Turkey program.  The show, commentated by Norman designer Kayne Gillaspie, will be at 2 p.m. Oct. 28 on the second floor of the Nigh University Center at UCO.

 The fashion show will emphasize the cultural and contemporary dress of Turkey along with American fashion with Turkey influence.

The Fashion Advertising and Promotion students host two fashion shows every fall designed to increase their knowledge and experience for their future careers in fashion marketing. This semester, the students have dedicated much of their time to the Passport to Turkey and Spring Creek Peacock Walk benefit fashion show, held earlier this month.

“This show is a wonderful opportunity for UCO students and other guests to explore fashion from other countries.  It also provides my students firsthand experience with production and promotion of a fashion show.  We are fortunate to work with a designer, Kayne Gillespie, from right here in Oklahoma, Flash Modeling Agency of Oklahoma City as well as numerous businesses and organizations in the metro area. I am very proud of these students and their efforts in producing a show of this nature,” said Dr. Susan Miller, UCO fashion marketing professor.
