| Ivy & Leo finale walk |
Last night marked the end to one of our best USC Fashion Weeks yet with a great show, beautiful clothing, talented designers,models, and retailers, and an incredible team making it all happen. The Finale, much like the Student Designer Showcase, had a great turnout with most guests arriving to the venue between 6:30pm and 7:00pm. Guests had a chance to walk around and shop a bit at some of the retail vendors that had a table at the event as well as enter our silent auction. There were products from London and Lace, Monkee's, Handpicked, and Buckle (where I scored some awesome booties). The silent auction was also a big hit with gift bags from a wide array of local retailers including Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Petal, Village Idiot, Millie's Top Shelf, London and Lace, Monkee's, Pink Sorbet, Bohemian, Glowout Salon, Cantina 76, M Boutique, Steel Garden, and Handpicked.

The show was opened by a performance by the Carolina Gents, making every girls' heart flutter of course, and Fashion Board President, Morgan Holton, gave a quick introduction. Then, the retailers sent student-models down the runway in some of their favorite spring and summer looks and each collection was awesome! I know I'm speaking for more than just myself when I say that it has inspired me to go on a major shopping spree.
