Lights. Camera. Action!  The crowd assembled as our two emcees, Ali Picheny ’13 and Neal Rabinowitz ’13, said their opening words to the audience.

Up first we had Rachel in the Milly Midnight Tulip Bow Dress.  She strutted her stuff and turned on the charm in that deep navy duchess satin dress. This sexy yet sweet strapless look featured a dramatic, over-sized bow at the waist for a touch of whimsy, and a wrap-front tulip skirt that shows off the legs.

Next, escorted by David, we had Reyna in a wine-hued, crepe de chine Robert Rodriguez Collection dress. The draped bodice, fitted skirt and black floral sequin inset at the neck made for a modern sophistication, while the burgundy-berry color keeps this look “on trend” for Winter 2011.

Sparkling in a white metallic tweed mini dress by Milly is Leah, escorted by Nick.  Perfect for a holiday cocktail party, this look featured a scoop neckline, full skirt, and contrast black satin bow at the empire waist.

Then came Elizabeth in a pretty pale pink halter dress by Pencey and escorted by Padraig. The buttery silk georgette fabric, tulle-accented neckline, and ruffle-trimmed bodice of this look are tres luxe!

Next up was Becca, escorted by Jeetayu, donning a teal silk crepe de chine one-shoulder dress by Rebecca Taylor. Note the rich jewel tone, elegant draping, cascading rosettes at the shoulder, and tie sash at the waist. What a chic silhouette!

Modeling a “sexy little white hot number” by Nanette Lepore, Krista was our winter ice queen escorted by David. Featuring a white sequin overlay, strapless bustier neckline and front pockets, this look transformed disco sequins into a sophisticated, feminine statement.


A little black dress should be classic, contemporary and chic, and Tatiana was all three walking next to Vinnie while in a strapless black chiffon and sequin dress by Diane von Furstenburg. With a pleated bodice, draped skirt and a bit of sparkle, this LBD is flattering and fun!

Our next model was “picture perfect” in the color of the season. Escorted by Jared, Hannah was wearing a red faille Alice by Temperley dress, featuring a sweetheart neckline, tulip skirt with pleating, and ruffle detail at the waist.This season, makes a statement in bold brights and luxurious fabrics.Take a cue from Chaimae, escorted by Alex, and sporting a Mark & James by Badgley Mischka royal blue, figure-hugging velvet dress. A chic long-sleeve option for a cold winter’s night out, this look features an elegantly draped, low back and black leather accents at the shoulders.
Our last, but certainly not least, model, Liya, escorted by Ian, modeled our final holiday look: a shimmery metallic sequin dress from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent. Featuring silver sequins on grey chiffon and a bloussant waist, this dress is playful yet elegant, a number you can dance in all New Years Eve! The crowd was going wild as the models and RTR Team walked the runway once more.  This concluded our Fashion show portion of the event.  Everyone refreshed with all of the delicious drinks that were generously provided by VitaminWater.  We opened up the floor to everyone to dance the rest of the night away with our DJ Dutch Damage, Jesse Vasquez ’13.
The RTR Team would like to thank the models, the DJs, the emcees, photographers, and everyone else who participated in our first ever Fashion Show at Brandeis!  Special shout outs to Custom Clothing Club and VitaminWater!  We are looking forward to having more fun and fashion-filled events next semester.
