00:00 ASU is known as being a hub for research, medical advancements, and now fashion.
00:06 We are so excited to welcome the creators of Planet Chic, Alexia Hill and Katie Tracy
00:11 here to tell us more.
00:12 Welcome, ladies.
00:13 Thank you for being here.
00:14 Hi.
00:15 Thank you for having us.
00:16 Thank you.
00:17 Okay, so I want to start first by telling our viewers a little bit about the fashion
00:21 magazine that's there on campus.
00:23 So kind of walk us through what that is.
00:26 Yeah, so the Chic Daily is ASU Cronkite's fashion journalism publication.
00:32 We do a physical imprint magazine every semester and we do a digital publication and of course
00:36 we do annual events such as Planet Chic, the fashion show.
00:40 This is so fantastic because you're definitely bringing the students there on campus a real
00:45 sense, a real pulse of what's going on in the fashion world, which is something that
00:48 you both have your finger on the pulse of like we were just saying.
00:52 So tell us a little bit about the fashion show itself.
00:54 Planet Chic.
00:56 What does that kind of mean?
00:57 What does that represent?
00:58 Yeah, so that idea has kind of been brewing in our heads for about a year now, honestly.
01:02 We do a themed show every year and the ticket proceeds go to a nonprofit.
01:07 Oh, that's great.
01:09 But really the biggest thing is just that we're trying to highlight those student models,
01:12 designers, stylists, hair and makeup artists.
01:15 And so we actually have one of our student designers right here.
01:18 That's great.
01:19 Okay, so yes, so this is something that's really fun.
01:23 You get to put your designs out there for everyone to see.
01:27 And the Planet Chic theme, I know it kind of is like a futuristic theme, kind of something
01:32 kind of unique and different.
01:33 So what are some of the styles, maybe yours, maybe other designers that people are going
01:37 to see on the runway?
01:38 Well, I mean, this is one of the looks that I made and I actually made this in a class
01:42 and I incorporated like zero waste patterns and like sustainability in it.
01:48 But yeah, everything I've made has just been, I wanted to be out of this world as if like
01:52 these little like characters came onto earth and just had a little fashion show.
01:56 So yeah.
01:57 Hence the title, Planet Chic.
01:58 No, I love that.
02:00 That really all ties together very, very well.
02:02 That's really cool, really fun.
02:04 And I know there's so much great stuff going on.
02:06 This is also part of your dissertation, is that correct?
02:10 Yes.
02:11 So this is my Barrett, the Honors College thesis as well.
02:14 So I'm kind of pulling the Chic's annual event in tandem with what I really love, which is
02:19 event production, public relations.
02:21 So all of the media campaigns, all of the branding that's been directed by the Chic
02:25 and by me.
02:26 And it's just been so fun to see everyone get so passionate about their own pieces to
02:30 it.
02:31 Like our clothing.
02:32 This is also a student designer.
02:33 This is Nick's crossing and everyone's inspirations are just so different to see.
02:39 He really focuses on like the desert landscape and the way that that plays into science fiction
02:43 films.
02:44 And so it's just amazing to see.
02:47 It all ties together.
02:48 And something that's great is that we do have a couple of models here today to kind of highlight
02:52 some of the type of things that you're going to see there at the show.
02:55 So why don't ladies, we take a step back and we can invite our first model out here for
03:00 us.
03:01 So would one of you like to kind of tell us what she's wearing?
03:03 So this is actually also a look that I made.
03:06 The jacket I made in a construction class for one of my classes last term.
03:12 And then I made the dress for the show in particular.
03:17 And yeah, I just wanted to have a little piece of like my own style and the things that I
03:21 make, but just make it for the show and something fun for everyone.
03:26 And go ahead and turn around as well, because I want everyone to see how beautifully crafted
03:31 this piece is.
03:32 I mean, this is a jacket that if you wore this out, this would be definitely a show
03:36 stopper.
03:37 People would not be able to stop talking about it.
03:39 And I feel like it's incredibly well made.
03:40 It's really beautiful.
03:41 Every little detail is there.
03:43 This is just so cool.
03:44 This would be stunning on the runway.
03:47 I love it.
03:48 Okay, thank you so much.
03:49 Let's go ahead and have our second model come out.
03:51 Yes.
03:52 So this is Olivia, our president of the chic actually.
03:55 And she's wearing Alejandra's designs.
03:58 Alejandra did the hand marbling dye process for this dress, made it herself.
04:04 And she really focuses in on that like retro futuristic kind of 50s almost inspiration
04:09 for it.
04:10 So maybe a 50s housewife alien kind of vibe.
04:13 I was going to say, it's giving me Stepford Wives, but in a good way.
04:17 I love this look.
04:18 It's very cool.
04:19 Beautiful.
04:20 Very, very chic.
04:21 Again, this is something that would be a show stopper on the runway.
04:24 I mean, everybody who sees this is just going to have their jaws on the floor because it's
04:27 so incredibly beautiful and such a unique, fun look.
04:30 All right, thank you so much.
04:31 So tell everybody where they can find more information and get tickets to come see the
04:35 show.
