For the show, titled Reverie: Daydreams Set Adrift, each senior designer will show her individual collection, as well as her designs for two special categories – Reinvented Culture and Rational Science. Reinvented Culture features sustainable designs using recycled materials, inspired by modern folklore/ethnicity, a nostalgic sensibility and a succession of tradition.

Rational Science consists of wearable technology using LED lights, inspired by geometric minimalism and modern avant-garde.

The junior designers will open the show with their designs. The show takes place in the hotel’s Kona Moku ballroom. A silent auction begins at 4:30 p.m., and the fashion show at 6. Tickets cost $25, or $50 for VIP (includes reserved seating and a gift bag). Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is located at 2552 Kalakaua Ave. For more information or to purchase tickets, email fdmproduction.uhmanoa@gmail.com.
