CVOEO's annual Karibu fashion show is Saturday, May 11 at North End Studios. Join us and support local talents from the New American community.
For our third edition of Karibu (Welcome! in Swahili), designers from Congo, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, and Togo will compete for the Top New American Designer title. Models from the New American community will be showcasing three culturally-inspired creations for each designer on the runway. Prizes include a state-of-the-art Bernina sewing machine, membership to Generator Makerspace, and more.
This is a raucous event in no small part because the audience is as diverse as the stage, and the pride and joy of the New American community for their members on stage is enormous (and they don't hesitate to show it!).
Tickets available at Seven Days Tickets. Event website at https://karibu2019.wordpress.com/
This is a benefit event for Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity's (CVOEO) programs for New Americans, serving more than 2,500 last year. It's also a great opportunity to put the spotlight on our new neighbors' vibrant cultures and creativity.
