Eastern Michigan University is hosting its second annual fashion week, starting on Sept. 21. Local stores and designers will contribute clothes from their fall collections for the show, which had over 600 attendees last year. The week long event will kick off with a concert to benefit AIDS research on the 21st from 8-10 p.m. in the Student Center Grand Ballroom. On Tuesday, the 22nd is "Supermodel Survival" which is a model boot camp also in the Grand Ballroom from 8-10 p.m. This is an event inspired by "America's Next Top Model" in which aspiring models will have limited amounts of time to get camera ready for a photo shoot.
