Long Island University Fashion Merchandising Club to Present Annual Fashion Show, Timeless: Through the Lens on April 16th

BROOKVILLE, N.Y., April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Long Island University (LIU) is proud to present its 6th Annual Fashion Show, Timeless: Through the Lens, on April 16th at the Tilles Center for Performing Arts on LIU's Post campus. Doors will open at 7:00 pm, for a 7:30 pm Runway Show.

Timeless: Through the Lens will showcase the evolution of fashion through the perspective of Gen Z, focusing on key spring trend pieces and wardrobe essentials curated by LIU's Fashion Merchandising Club (FMC) and the Student Body Collective (SBC), a fully student-run boutique on campus. The annual event celebrates the unparalleled Fashion Merchandising and Management Program at LIU, along with the creative collaboration between the FMC and SBC, who are responsible for sourcing the garments and producing the entirety of the show.

"We're incredibly excited to present Timeless: Through the Lens, a show that reflects both the vibrant energy of Gen Z and the timeless nature of fashion," said Lindsey Pelletier co-president of the Fashion Merchandising Club and a Fashion Merchandising & Management major in the School of Business. "This event represents the culmination of our club's hard work and dedication, and we are thrilled to bring our vision to life on stage."

This year's show is set to be bigger than ever, with a record number of attendees expected. The event will feature a partnership with the local clothing company Mixology Clothing Company, known for blending designer pieces with affordable fashion to create chic, accessible looks. Everything seen on the runway will be available for purchase in the Pop-Up Boutiques before and after the show.

In addition to showcasing fashion, the event is an opportunity for the Fashion Merchandising Club to give back to the community. A silent auction and raffle will be held to raise funds for club initiatives, student scholarships, and global fashion trips. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Rewear Able, a non-profit organization that empowers individuals with developmental disabilities through sustainable employment. Rewear Able accepts donations of clothing, shoes, handbags, and more to support their mission of providing jobs that help individuals gain greater independence.

At the conclusion of the show, LIU will be presenting a $10,000 Scholarship on behalf of the Fashion Merchandising and Management Program at Long Island University and Americana Manhasset to Abigail Valle, a senior at Sachem High School, who has been awarded First Prize in the LIU Fashion Reimagined Contest, recognizing the entrepreneurial spirit of our future generation of fashion professionals.
