Orlando, FL September 24, 2011 – The children of New Image Youth Center put on their first Fashion Extravaganza. With the help of several fantastic sponsors NIYC was able to put on an amazing show for those who were in the audience including representatives from the City of Orlando, Northrop Grumman, Southwest Airlines, the Parramore Kidz Zone, friends, family and supporters. The show consisted of scenes that represented the styles of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90,s, and the new millennium.

Thanks to the support of Southwest Airlines who provided the DJ and Judy who was the backstage coordinator, Cyn by Cynthia Mehra for the clothes, Roquois of Roquois LLC for donating her coordinating services, and to Jessica and Vanessa of LiveLoveArt for helping to prepare the students.

Jessica and Vanessa began to come to New Image Youth Center over the summer to begin getting the children ready to hit the runway. The children were not only able to model clothes that were designed by Cynthia Mehra but they were also able to keep the clothes. Ms. Roquois took time away from her Fashion Event Production Company and Fashion Marketing Company to seek out decade appropriate styles for the children to model, teach the children how to walk, and to find a stage to be used in the show.

As the outfits were situated, Jessica, Vanessa and their team began working on hair and make up for the girls. DJ Tyler began preparing the music and Ms. Judy began to orchestrate all of the activity going on backstage. Then it was “Lights, Camera. Action…” as NIYC took the stage at Urban ReThink. The show was a phenomenal success. The NIYC models dazzled and amazed their audience in the first of many Fashion Extravaganza’s. None of this would have been possible without the help of our sponsors and our very own Ms. Shanta Barton-Stubbs. They all took the time to invest into this event and we cannot wait to do our next show.
