In the midst of midterms, GW’s Humane Animal Treatment Society (HATS) held a fashion show Thursday to support puppies at The Washington Humane Society.
Models from Alpha Kappa Psi, Pi Beta Phi, HATS, Balance, Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Sigma Sigma wore clothes from Seven for All Mankind, Current Boutique, South Moon Under and Gossip on 23rd. Fashions ranged from national brands to local boutiques.
In addition to the fashion segment, there were performances by GW Ballroom and Spade.
HATS Chaiperson, Yuliya Shamailova said the event was to help raise awareness on animal welfare issues in the GW community. Fashion sponsors lent the clothes out for the fashion show and in return, they may get some new customers. Many of the models said they planned on buying an item or two they saw at the fashion show.
The day before the event, The Washington Humane Society brought puppies to University Yard to get some free play as well as raise awareness for the event.
Models participating in the show had to raise about $100 each totaling over $2100 for The Washington Humane Society. The society is the District of Columbia’s primary animal shelter and operates D.C.’s largest animal humane law enforcement. It offers humane education, sheltering and adoption in addition to other services.
