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.

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.
"Vance"and Phinx said YfiJ^ne wishing to liaVST
a tailoring career should start early.

"A person interested in tailoring should at least start
in high school," Vance said. "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.
