Capping off Asian Week, the Asian Students Association will put on its 8th annual fashion show in Morrell Lounge from 9:30 to 11:30 on Saturday evening. Audience should expect an eclectic mix of fashion displayed by about 30 student models, broken up with musical and artistic performances.

The first section of the show will highlight winter fashions. The next will have models stripping out of various occupational uniforms…into smaller uniforms. The third segment will be clubbing outfits. Section four is a tour of fashion around the world. The fifth segment will give a tour of pop star Madonna's evolution through the fashion of her music videos. In the sixth, following on the heels of last week's drag ball, the fashion show's traditional formal segment will be altered to a mock formal with models in drag, to do "something different," according to organizer Evelyne Tseng. The finale will feature fashion and "famous duos" from movies, including "Aladdin," "Gladiator," and "Braveheart."

Between segments, the audience will be treated to juggling by Ole Kersten, a Chinese ribbon dance by Tien-Tien Lai, a Korean pop dance by Brown Eyes, and a musical performance by the hip-hop group Obvious.

"It's not just an Asian thing. It's for everybody," said organizer Leeann Trang.
