Jhane Barnes to be Honored as Designer of the Year
Marymount University’s annual student fashion show, this year titled Portfolio in Motion Uncut, will feature inspired creations by Marymount fashion design students and alumni. The show will take place on Thursday, May 1, at 8 p.m.; a cocktail reception precedes it, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Both events will be held in the Rose Benté Lee Center on the University’s Main Campus, 2807 North Glebe Road, Arlington, VA.
Marymount’s fashion programs are unique in the Washington D.C. region and well recognized within the industry and by the public. Fashion merchandising majors will produce a show that celebrates the modern woman and man; they know what they want and go after it with a no-frills attitude. The runway, lights, and music will create a clean, minimalist, cutting-edge environment that is inspired by industrial art. The featured garments by fashion design students and alumni will encompass all the interconnecting angles of modern life – running the gamut from eveningwear, to casual, to game-day attire. Portfolio in Motion Uncut is a student endeavor from beginning to end; the jury-selected designs will also be modeled by Marymount students.
Mirroring the stereotype-smashing interests of today’s woman, the show will include a line of fashion-forward Washington Redskins apparel, created for the growing legions of women football fans. The result of a product development class, some of the garments are for the 18-34 market, while others target the 34+ demographic. The students presented their lines, as well as production and marketing plans for this niche market, to a panel of experts that included Redskins marketing staff.
This year’s show will also feature lines by each of the graduating seniors and designs made from fabrics donated by Eileen Fisher, Marymount’s 2012 Designer of the Year.
JHANE BARNES TO BE HONORED AS DESIGNER OF THE YEAR
As always one of the highlights of the show will be the presentation of the Designer of the Year Award, which this year goes to Jhane Barnes. Barnes first became known for her creative menswear, which featured unusual details and silhouettes, as well as unique fabrics. In 1980, at the age of 25, she was the youngest person and the first woman to win the prestigious Coty American Fashion Critics Award for Menswear. Among her earliest customers were John Lennon, Paul Simon, Elton John, Robin Williams, John Travolta, Jack Nicholson, and Danny Glover. Over the years, Ms. Barnes has expanded her design work — using math, especially fractals, to create textiles and patterns for fashion, eyewear, furniture, and, flooring.
Tickets for the May 1 reception and show, at which Jhane Barnes will be honored, are $100.

The Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce the date for its annual “fabulous” event in honor of a 29-year-old woman who passed away from colon cancer. The 4th Annual Erica Paul Fabulous Event is set for Saturday, June21st at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington. The evening will be filled with a whole lot of ‘fabulous’ for attendees to enjoy from signature cocktails, savory bites, music, a fashion “dress up bar” hosted by women’s retailer Current Boutique, men’s fashions and style bar by The Tailored Man, and the ever popular Fabulous Auction. The purpose of this event is to educate young people about colon cancer and to raise funds for the Erica Paul Memorial Fund that provides educational resources to colon cancer patients.
Through her beauty and amazing sense of fashion, Erica Gough Paul typified being fabulous. The word “fabulous” was her favorite word to describe practically anything in life from her love of fashion, to just enjoying life experiences with family and friends. More importantly, it was through her compassion, courage, and inspiration that Erica wholly redefined the word itself. At the age of 26, Erica was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer. Instead of letting the devastating news stop her in her tracks, Erica began her fabulous journey of hope and activism. Through the many procedures, treatments, and surgeries, she always managed to flash that brilliant, fabulous smile. She began sharing her story in the hopes that others would not be stricken with such a terrible disease. Erica served as a big supporter and advocate for Chris4Life’s mission and was the wife of Chris4Life’s Program Director Michael Paul. On March 6, 2011 Erica passed away from the disease.
The Erica Paul Memorial Fund provides patients with important resources like Chris4Lifes’ Patient Kit, which includes a Wellness Guide and the Chris4Life Colorectal Cancer Resource Guide (DVD). This unscripted resource guide (DVD) presents recently diagnosed patients with one-on-one information from other patients, survivors, doctors, nurses, and social workers. This one of a kind guide provides newly diagnosed patients with information from what to expect physically, medically and emotionally to personal day-to-day issues that the patient may experience. All this information comes from patients and others who have had personal experiences with colorectal cancer. Through funding, the Erica Paul Memorial Fund distributes the Patient Kit to 25,000 patients across the nation free of change each year.
Tickets to the Erica Paul Fabulous event are $30 online and $40 at the door. For event details, visitwww.chris4life.org/fabulous.
