Supporting Educational Programs
Chang will showcase his 2014 evening collection.
I am honored to be a part of this year's fashion show to support a fundamental educational program such as ThinkFirst which teaches young and old alike the importance of thinking being and doing Chang said.
ThinkFirst's primary focus is the prevention of brain and spinal injuries through a series of programs that educate young people about personal vulnerability and risk-taking as well as providing programs for seniors to help with balance and prevent injuries from falling. Children and teens are at the highest risk for these devastating injuries many of which are preventable. The primary message that you hear from this program is that you can have a fun filled exciting life without hurting yourself if you 'think first' and use your mind to protect your body.
Merle Norman Boutique will be a significant part of the event. Merle Norman has been an important retailer of Julian Chang collections in Colorado has created a loyal following and will contribute to the showcasing of the Julian Chang collection. RSVP by March 15. For more information call 970-479-5068 or book online at www.vvmc.com/fashionshow. To view the entire summer collection of Chang visit www.julianchang.com.
