'* <Star ? Ta/ibrs Showa By Yvette McCulloagh Staff Writer Two budding young tailors have put together their designs and will showcase their collection in a fashion show which will be held on April 14 in the Kenneth R. Williams Auditorium. ? 1? ? d Elmira Vance and Arthur Phinx are the organizers and designers of the "Spring Affair" fashion show. The show, which will begin at 8 p.m., will feature men's r_ women's fashions, bathing suits and lingerie. || In addition to designing and making most of the clothes to be worn in the show, Vance and Phinx have organized a group of 16 people to be the models. Phinx is a graduate of R.J. Reynolds High School and is presently a sophomore at Winston-Salem State University, majoring in early childhood education. "I want to have something to fall back on, just in case I don't make it in tailoring," Phinx said. He began tailoring in the 10th grade at Reynolds and now makes women's clothes on the side. After he graduates from WSSU, Phinx plans to attend the Fashion Institute in New York. Vance is a 1977 graduate of Parkland High School and will be attending Kings College in Charlotte in July, to study retail merchandizing and buying. She has a long history of tailoring in her family with both her grandfather and her mother being tailors. "I've always been interested in sewing," Vance said. "With the way clothes prices are today, it is. more economical to make vour own clothes." Vance and Phinx,have been friends since they were in the sixth grade and found sewing to be a mutual attraction. "We talked and found that we both liked tailoring so we got together and gave a benefit in November at a church," Vance said. "However the fashion show will rcaiiy oe our aeout. The tickets to the fashion show will be $3 for adults and $2 for students. They carf be purchased from any of > the V&P models or at the door. They can also be purchased from J Henry's.

"Then they should choose a school to develop their talent.'' "You have got to start early because it takes a lot of years and a lot of time," Phinx said. "The field is wide open for blacks and the opportunities are great in the field of fashion." A dance will also be held after the fashion show at La Terre XXI. Admission to the dance will be the ticket stub and $2. f The Spring , Fur-cast ?o It's luxurious . . . it's youl Elegant 7 mink jackets and smart fox flings / add a lovely touch to dressing up! / J Our services include in CUSTOM STYLING ^ U CLEANING * STORAGE * I f Hair Stybs It's The Year Mrs. Minnie Ervin could cian.
