The MODA-Elite Fashion Company will host a fashion show Sunday to close out Homecoming Week at the University. The organization, which recently made its way from Troy University to The University of Alabama, promotes modeling and high fashion among the student body. Daniel Grimsley, a senior majoring in criminal justice, recently formed the group and is working to put on a show every year. He said he was approached to form the group by its Troy founder, Zachary Coleman.

“He reached out to me about possibly getting another chapter of the organization started here at UA and I could not say no,” Grimsley said.

For the upcoming fashion show, the group will host showcase collections by student designers and professionals. Yolandez Thomas, co-vice president of the organization and a senior majoring in public relations, said he is excited to debut the show this weekend.

“We are showcasing fashion, music and modeling in a way that the University hasn’t seen yet,” Thomas said.

MODA-Elite is open to all students who have an interest in fashion from modeling to fashion design to styling.

Tickets for the MODA-Elite fashion show can be bought on the second floor of the Ferguson Center on Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased online at 
bamamodaelite.eventbrite.com. General admission tickets are $5 and VIP tickets are $15. A VIP ticket will ensure runway seating and a goodie bag.
