Due to last week’s weather several events have been rescheduled for next week.

Lilly Pulitzer fashion show now February 24th.

Fashion design students have been hard at work creating women’s wear for a fundraiser event at the Lilly Pulitzer store in Ardmore. Last fall, the company donated fabric to our fashion program and challenged our students to create designs in keeping with the Pulitzer style. Our students’ garments will be the centerpiece of a fashion show and cocktail reception at the Ardmore store (49 Saint James Place, Ardmore) on Wednesday, February 24th from 6- 8 PM. Ten-percent of the proceeds from floor sales during the evening will support the fashion program’s scholarship fund. Awards will be given to the evening’s top designers, including one for best dress.

Kevin Killen now February 22nd.

Kevin Killen has spent the last 30 years compiling an impressive list of credentials working with some of pop music’s biggest names. He has worked as a producer, sound engineer and mixer for Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Jewel, Bon Jovi and U2. He recently added country music to his work with Sugarlands Love On the Inside album and won five Grammy awards for his work on Shakira’s Oral Fixation album. The Music Industry program is sponsoring a talk with Killen on February 22nd at 6 PM in the Bossone Research Center.  Killen will discuss producing and engineering and also walk us through his approach as he dissects one of his own recording sessions.
