Third Annual Fashion Show - A Unique School, A Vibrant Campus

The Third Annual Fashion Show of Lam Tai Fai College held on 1 June 2007 was an overwhelming success. This spectacular Fashion Show was well-received by all the participants and audience. Guests and parents were impressed by the myriad activities in our school and budding talents of our students as well as the up to professional standard of the award-winning designs.

The Fashion Show, themed 「Campus Fiesta」 this year, aimed at integrating a wide array of learning activities into fashion design project. This year, a brand new approach in presentation was adopted in the Fashion Show. Specially-crafted performances including wushu, street dance, fencing and drama were incorporated into catwalk show, designed to prepare students for the unique educational experiences that LTFC provides. Student designers were encouraged to link up their school life and the five sub-themes: Campus Life and Spirits, Chinese Culture, Sport Spirit (2008 Olympics), Sub-culture and Western Culture. As a prelude to this grand occasion, a T-shirt design competition was held. To show appreciation to talents, the winning design was put on by all the designers as the official costume for the show.

Ms Camille Wang and Ms Florence Lam, the masterminds of the Fashion Show, together with teachers and students formed the Organizing Committee. Their hard work, dedication and sacrifice contributed tremendously to the preparation work and the success of the show. Indeed, the scale of the production warranted contribution from every single member of the school community --- parents, staff and students. To all, it was a rewarding yet eye-opening experience.
