Event Assignment

So for our class assignment, we were responsible for attending an event that would help us in our fashion field, as well as the different sections that we are responsible for. My section that i am responsible for is Celebrities & Trends.

For my event, i attended Alive After 5 in the Epicentre. Alive After 5 is an event in which local bands are given the opportunity to play their music, which is basically considered a free concert every Thursday. Besides music, food and drinks are also available for people who attend the event. On occasions, there would be different vendors that give away free samples to people. Just another way of promotion for companies to get their products and services out to the people.

There are many people that attend this event every week, varying from different background, age, and style. Considering it is still summertime and this event is held outside, my observations resulted in seeing a lot of women in sundresses, skirts, and shorts. Maxi dresses were also seen throughout this event, some were solid colors and some consisted of different patterns and colors. Gladiator sandals and flip-flops were also seen a lot at this event, mainly because there is a lot of walking involved so wearing heels in the hot sun is not preferred for many women. Bright colors were seen from hot pink to turquoise. These colors were spotted on handbags, shoes, dresses, and even on some sunglasses.

Overall, the styles that were featured the most were considered more casual but comfortable at the same time. Another thing that i noticed was that the style was more casual from around 5 to 8, but after that, the style transitioned to a more dressy attire. This is due to the clubs that open up in the Epicentre at night. Many people would rather dress up to go out to clubs and bars when the night time comes around. Minidresses and heels were seen more after 8 o'clock.

Even though i had to focus on getting my work done, i enjoyed the event. This event allowed me to enjoy the nightlife seen as well as the nice, hot weather that took place.
