Designers and models from several area schools will come together at Calvin
College on Saturday, March 10 for a benefit fashion show.

Proceeds from "Love First: Struttin' to Heal the World; a Love First/FAB
Collab" will benefit Park High School in Grand Rapids, where pregnant teens can
continue and complete their education.

General admission tickets for the show are just $5, while student tickets are
$3.

The subtitle of the show -- which will begin at 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center
at Calvin -- alludes to the first-time collaboration between the organizers of
Love First, which held its first show in 2005, and the Fashion Advisory Board
(FAB) which was founded last year to promote an approach to fashion that is
both creative and Christian.

"I've been to every show they've had," says Cheryl Brown, a key organizer of
Love First about FAB. "I love what the designers do."

For the "Collab" show, Brown is handing the FAB designers a challenge: to
execute six designs created by two student designers from Rockford Middle
School, where she serves as a mentor.

Previous Love First fashion shows have benefited Haiti and Sudan.

Brown said she chose Park High School out of a desire help out in Calvin’s
immediate neighborhood.
