Chance put on their ongoing monthly fashion event at Macy’s last Saturday night, Jan. 9. It was an awards show celebrating Seattle’s design community. Chance is an organization sponsored by Active Entertainment, a non-profit, that seeks to provide social justice to the community as well as foster an inclusive creative environment where people can showcase their talent. If one is interested in fashion design, modeling, photography, styling hair or doing makeup, Chance can help provide the forum and the training to support one’s interest.

“The more involved you get, the more people you will meet, the more you will develop your talent, and the more opportunities you can create through your participation,” their mission states. The fashion show cultivated an environment of diverse types of beauty, where people of all types came to celebrate the spirit of Seattle fashion. In addition to the fashion show itself, vendors were also present to sell their designs. (end)
