The show features wearable fiber art and accessories. Models showcase one-of-a-kind designs created especially for the event by the organization's members. The show will be held Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 1:00 pm at the historic Silco Theater located at 311 N. Bullard St. in downtown Silver City. Funds raised by the event will go to support classes, outreach to the community, and sales events.
"Every year, we are grateful for the models, and the time they donate to the fashion show," states Colette Kelly, model coordinator for the show. "We couldn't do it without them. We need models of all ages, sizes, and genders in our lineup. The show is a popular community event and has been sold out for the past two years. Feedback from the audience indicates that the models are key to making the show a fun and enjoyable event."
Many of the fashions and accessories for the fashion show will be available for sale immediately after the show.
