Flashback to the Fashion Show
February 20, 2015
The Fashion Show used to be a much-awaited Harker tradition, held annually during February as a fundraiser for the school.
Austin Tuan and Lindsey Trinh (10) perform in the 2013 fashion show. The show was themed Mission: Possible.
The most recent fashion show was Mission: Possible, held in 2013, and included live auctions, lunch and dinner, casino games and the show itself.
Students enjoyed the experience of performing in a fashion show, and many were disappointed with the replacement of the show with Night on the Town in 2014.
“I was kind of looking forward to being in the fashion show in my ninth grade year because I wanted to do it in my eighth grade year but I couldn’t do it,” Hazal Gurcan (10) said. “Then they took it away; it was really sad. It was really fun, and I feel like it brought the community together more than the gala that they have now.”
Other students look back on the fashion show with fond memories of performing.
It was super fun and exciting to be a part of the 2013 fashion show. Showstoppers and High Voltage danced to a short clip of the Mission Impossible theme song; it was full of stunts and we even got light up hair extensions.

The experience of participating in the Fashion Show will remain etched into the minds of both faculty members and students. Although Night on the Town replaced this fundraiser, organizers hope to continue improving upon this integral component of the school’s growth by not only involving performing arts members in the event, but the entire Harker community.
