With CAP Board’s EPIC Week in full swing, Moda dal Vivo kept the spirits alive on Thursday night with their 2nd Annual Fashion Show! The night’s festivities were hosted by Greg Robinson and Miss Cabrini, Jessica Regina Johnson-Petty.
The fashion show is in support of members of the Cabrini student body who have a passion for fashion, along with striving to be the best students they can be. It isn’t just what they choose to wear in the morning, but how they wear it and what it says about them as a person.
The night went down without a hitch. CAP Board gave away free hats and goodies to the first 20 guests that came through the door. Friends, family and classmates filled the seats in Grace Hall to enjoy the show. Little siblings crowded the front row to grab the best seats in the house.
After the DJ pumped up the audience with a set or two, the show got underway and the 15 models strutted up and down the catwalk, walking tall and fierce with each step they took.
The first three collections came and went almost as quickly as the show began. Then it was time for the “halftime show.”
Moda dal Vivo managed to book Myke Kewl to perform for the night. He has previously opened for Philadelphia’s own, Meek Mill and even Nicki Minaj! He kept the energy in the room high by singing a few of his hit songs and promising to stick around after the show to sign autographs.
After his set, audience members got a chance to show off their own modeling skills and compete to be the best. 16 contestants between the ages of 2 and 22 walked the runway and after three close rounds of elimination Jenay Smith and John Eddings won the crowd over.
Moda dal Vivo saved the best for last, theming the final four collections Hero Within, CAV Spirit, Swim Season and Sneakerheads. The models were loving it just as much as the audience and it showed.
“It was so much fun,” Helen Michael, mother of model Amanda Michael, said. “It was so cool seeing them all act like professionals and see [Amanda] have so much fun with it.”
