Bloomingdale's Partnered with Ai Studios for Annual Young World Spring Fashion Show; Saturday, March 22nd At Bloomingdale's In The Shops at Riverside Mall

On Saturday, March 22nd, Ai Studios partnered with Bloomingdale's for their annual Young World Spring Fashion Show. This fun event for children, their families, and friends featured real kids walking the catwalk wearing this season's new fashions, all of which were and are available at the retailer.
 
As part of their aim to inspire confidence in children, Ai Studios, a developer of child enrichment programs, created this fashion event which featured children of real Bloomingdale's customers instead of professional models. Ai Studios owner, Antoinette Coppola, said of the event, “I loved seeing how the childrens' self-confidence grew from first rehearsal to final show time. I was inspired myself watching their faces as they walked down the runway. Ai Studios was created to inspire children to imagine, dream and create, and I have to say that today’s event inspired me to continue creating programs that allow children to grow their potential in every way.”
 
Over 100 people attended the fashion show, making it a great success. Each parent wrote a short bio detailing their child’s unique talents, skills, interests, and activities to be read as he or she walked down the runway, Each child modeled the clothes with their own personal style, showing everyone their personality and making it even more enjoyable. The reactions of the parents were  overwhelmingly positive, saying their children "really had a wonderful time," calling it "an experience they will never forget."

Ai Studios works with local schools and communities to provide unique after school and summer enrichment programs that emphasize using the creative process to better a student’s prospects in life.
