Design students
looking for work

School's out for graduates of Kwantlen

BY LAYNE CHRISTENSEN
Fashion Editor

THE second-year students of Kwantien’s
fashion design and technology program
have stitched their Jast seam — as stu-
dents — and are now ready for hire.

Among the crop of talent poised to
embark on fashion design or related careers
are two residents of the North Shore, Alina
Lowe and Nargas Khabazha.

Both had a chance to showcase their
designs before ‘sell-out crowds at the pro-
gram's four year-end fashion shows at the
Richmond campus last month.

Lowe showed a line of coordinates for
Holiday ‘96 that was created for West Coast
Apparel as an IndustryLink project,
Kwantlen’s three-year-old program that pairs
students with local manufacturers for a week-
long practicum.

Lowe was presented the Technical Merit
Award for her three outfits in stretch will,
stretch velvet and satin charmeuse. The

award was accompanied by a cash prize of

$100, which the former West Vancouver
Secondary student intends to stash away for a
Paris shopping spree. (Lowe is planning a
trip to France in September.) In the mean-
time, she is hoping her practical experi-
encewill help her land a job with a large man-
ufacturer.

North Van's Nargas Khabazha plans to
build a career from her year-end project, a
collection of career fashions for the full-fig-
ured woman. She is looking at opening a
boutique that caters to women sized 12
through 22. and is scouting for a North
Vancouver location.

“Everybody designs for the perfect body.”
said the 40-year-old mother of two. “They
forget about women aged 35 to 50 and these
are the real women.”
