One-of-a-Kind Student Fashion Show: Where the Rubber Meets the Runway

           IADT Student Designers Get in Gear for IMAGINE 2006

  WHO/
  WHAT:     IMAGINE 2006, the International Academy of Design and
            Technology's 27th annual student fashion show, promises some of
            the season's most innovative and memorable fashion moments --
            including the unveiling of winning designs from an exclusive
            General Motors-sponsored competition in which students created
            garments based on GM's hottest cars.  Winning entries will be
            modeled alongside the vehicles that inspired them, including the
            Cadillac Escalade, Saturn Vue Green-Line, Pontiac Solstice,
            Buick Lucerne, and the Chevrolet HHR.

            A sneak preview of some this year's IMAGINE fashions, as well a
            dress rehearsal open to media, will be staged prior to the
            Thursday evening show.
