“There is definitely a wide range as there is every year, but no group of seniors is ever the same,” notes South, who is producing the show. “Interestingly enough, one of the collections is menswear, which we haven’t had before. And strong points of view in swim to ready-to-wear. There also will be a bridal display that evening.”
