Gemma Cramarossa
Year: II
Role in the Show: Alyssa and I are responsible for holding additional fundraising events for Camp Trillium along with our amazing fundraising subcommittee. My favourite event this year has been our holiday bakesale and Santa photoshoot where we got various BHSc faculty members (including Del and Margaret!) to dress up as Santa to take photos with students. Where do you purchase your clothes? Aritzia! Also H&M, Guess, Mendocino, Forever 21, American Eagle...oh and my favourite, my Marchesa prom dress. What are your fashion inspirations? All of Blaire Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen's outfits on Gossip Girl, mostly why I watch the show! Also, Kate Middleton's sophisticated look and Jessica Alba's red carpet style. What does Chrysalis mean to you? I envision chrysalis as the process of developing. Analogous to a caterpillar developing into a butterfly, society is constantly developing or evolving according to the values and opinions of its members. Similar to how a caterpillar does not seem to be capable of metamorphosis, society is not always what it seems to be... |
Alyssa Kim - Fundraising
Year: IV
Role in the Show: With my co-exec (Gemma), we hold weekly meetings with members of our Fundraising Committee and plan monthly fundraising events for Camp Trillium. Some of the fundraising events we have had this year include bake sales, a Santa photoshoot, and an event at Boston Pizza! Gemma and I are also responsible for finding sponsorships and items for two raffle prize events we hold during term 2 - one at the BHSc Formal and the other at the fashion show. Where do you Purchase your Clothes? I mainly shop at Forever 21, H&M, Mendocino, Costa Blanca, and Aritzia. Other favorites include Club Monaco, Banana Republic, Lululemon, Guess, and Urban Outfitters!! I've also recently started acquiring a taste for vintage clothing so would love to locate some good vintage stores! What are your fashion inspirations? Jennifer Aniston's for her casual look, Blake Lively for ALL her looks, Zoe Saldana for her red carpet/formal wear, and Rachel Bilson for her everyday look What does Chrysalis mean to you? Chrysalis is defined by Merriam Webster as "the enclosing case or covering of a pupa." To be frank I had never heard of the word before the being a part of the fashion show exec (I thought it had to do with crystals haha!!) but after learning it's meaning, I view chrysalis as metaphorically representing new beginnings, a chance at a "new" life. |
