The Association of Black Collegians will display this season's trends at their third annual Urban Revolution fashion show at 7 p.m. Saturday in the PSU Theater.
The purpose of the show is to help ABC bring unity among all students, said Lewayne Bradford, junior in biomedical sciences, vice president of ABC and model in the upcoming show.
"Fashion is something that does not look at race, color or creed," Bradford said. "I believe it benefits ABC by allowing students on campus to have another view of what we are truly about."
Whitney Brown, junior in communication who has helped organize the event, said she expects the show, which is a celebration of African-American Heritage Month, to attract more than 100 attendees.
She said each of the 20 models in the show, 10 males and 10 females, are students.
Brittany Brown, junior in communication, is the coordinator of the Urban Revolution fashion show this year.
"I wanted to find stores that were geared toward everyone from college students to adults," she said.
She sent letters to various stores in Springfield requesting donations and received responses within a week. She said Deb, Shae Belle Urban Fashion Wear, Vanity, Dillard's, Savvi Formal Wear and Missouri State Baker Bookstore all donated clothes to be used in the show.
