It was a great turnout at the Be-You-tiful Fall Fashion Show on Thursday, Oct. 15. The fashion show was put on by It’s Time Fashion and Gifts and the Viscount Cultural Centre for the Arts (VCC) and was held at the VCC. 

Rrain Prior, director of programming for the VCC, said the attendance was about 50, which is a little higher than average for their fashion shows. All the proceeds from ticket sales went to the VCC. She said they have had about six different fashion shows over the past few years. They try to pick a different theme every year, such as Think Pink or Shop Hometown. 

This year, the theme, Be-You-tiful, was meant to let women know that they can wear whatever they want and shouldn’t be bound by their body types. Ineke Mack, owner of It’s Time, said that they had models of different body types and ages to show how to put different outfits together to make anyone feel good in whatever they want to wear. Mack said that they had lots of positive feedback after the show from attendees and those who’d seen pictures of it. 

All the clothing and footwear worn by the models was from It’s Time. Some of the jewellery was also from It’s Time, and some was from the VCC. The models worked with It’s Time to put together outfits that they felt beautiful in. 

Mack would like to thank all the volunteers, from the models, to lunch servers, to emcees, who put in countless hours to make the fashion show happen.
