A fast-paced video presentation of the various steps in this process will accompany and enhance the runway show. Featured this year will be Canvasbacks and the seven Mount Mary College alumnae who work there. The evening show will be followed by a wine reception. Fashion students in the Fashion Show Coordination Class have planned the show.
