Portfolio In Motion at Marymount

This weekend is the 30th annual major fashion show Portfolio In Motion at Marymount University. The three day even starts Thursday with a fashion show starting at 6:30pm and snoozing cocktail reception. The fashion show repeats Friday and Saturday night at 8pm.

Tickets are $20 at the door or online. $5 of each ticket purchased will benefit the Marymount Fashion Department.

This year MU honors Lazaro Perez as their 2019 Designer of the Year. Portfolio in Motion is produced entirely by students. Over the course of the spring semester, while Fashion Design students are busy producing their lines, Fashion Merchandising students are planning out the details of the show. Every aspect, including student model selection, fashion design, choreography, stage and set design, commentary, ticket sales, and backstage management are all coordinated by students.
