FAST

UC Berkeley SPRING 2011

fashion and student trends

Fashion And Student Trends is a student-initiated, student-run nonprofit organization designed to bring the world of fashion to the University of California, Berkeley. The first branch of FAST was originally established in 2001 on the University of California, Los Angeles campus. Through the collaboration of our founders, Berkeley launched its own FAST branch in 2005. Since then, the organization has grown tremendously and continues to serve the Berkeley fashion community in its 5th year of operation. Our organization is dedicated to nurturing and fostering the talents and enthusiasm of students interested in the fashion industry, including designers, models, artists, photographers and other students seeking corporate fashion experience. Each semester, FAST members design, publicize, and host a fashion show featuring the original creations of our talented Berkeley student designers. Apart from being the only on-campus organization of its kind, FAST contributes to the greater community by collecting ticket fees and donating those proceeds to reputable charities. Currently, FAST is working with the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. FASTs Spring Runway Show, titled EXPOSE, will take place on Sunday, May 1st, at 8:00p at UC Berkeleys Pauley Ballroom. As an active component of self-expression, fashion permits us to reveal bits of ourselves through our clothing and style. This semester, FAST challenges student designers to unleash an army of alter egos on the runway and demonstrate fashions capacity to transcend the surface and reveal over-the-top personas. Join Fashion & Student Trends as we celebrate and commemorate another semester of student creativity and bravado.

The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. (LFA) is the foremost national nonprofit health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services and hope to all people affected by lupus.

Since that time, the LFA has evolved into the fields preeminent nonprofit lupus organization with nearly 300 chapters, support groups and community representatives nationwide.
