Invitation to a Day of Style… On Campus!

Okay, we at Hoot know it’s not that easy making the trek downtown for all of these great fashion events in the city — so we’re bringing fashion to you on campus for a day, on Sunday, April 25th, 2010 (yes, yes — this Sunday).

First, we are partnering up with Earth Coalition for another clothing swap! Once again, we will have delicious finger food, great music, and fun raffle prizes!Click here for the Facebook event — remember to RSVP and invite all of your friends! Last semester, we had a great turn-out and we found some great steals in the swap — including a Marc Jacobs jacket!

In the evening, we are partnering up with Asian Pacific American Awareness Month (APAAM) for a mega-panel discussion, Asian Americans in the Fashion Industry.

The panelists include:

SuChin Pak, MTV Correspondent (Moderator)
Humberto Leon, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Opening Ceremony
Carol Lim, CEO and Co-Founder of Opening Ceremony
Joe Zee, Creative Director of ELLE & Stylist (newest confirmed panelist!)
Tina Chai, Stylist & Columbia College alumna
Phillip Lim, Fashion Designer
Patrick Li, Creative Director of Li, Inc
Ujjwala Raut, Model
EJ Samson, Online Editor of Teen Vogue
Arabelle Sicardi, Fashion Blogger
Aya T. Kanai, Stylist

Oh, and cupcakes will be served.

Please RSVP on Facebook here and buy your ticket online here (or at TIC). We’re excited and terribly busy this week — but very excited, as you can tell.

Panel Discussion: Voices in American Fashion

Admittedly, it’s been a long week — and luckily, the weather is going to be chipper tomorrow to jump start your weekend. To celebrate the beginning of April, attend the “Voices in American Fashion” Panel Discussion at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (2 East 91st Street) tomorrow (April 1st), from 6:30pm to 8:30pm!

Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion journalist (the only fashion journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize, in fact) and Washington Post Style Editor Robin Givhan will be speaking with past National Design Award Winners Francisco Costa (Women’s Creative Director of Calvin Klein), Yeohlee Teng, and Maria Cornejo about their work and the role of fashion in contemporary culture. Their designs will be featured in Design USA: Contemporary Innovation — so come early at 5:30pm to see the gallery before it closes at 6:30pm!

You can register for the event, which is free for students, here. General admission is $15 and seniors/members admission is $10. ‘Tis good to be in college, no?

Oh, and even if you can’t make it to the Upper East Side — it will be web casted live here.
