WHO/
WHAT: IMAGINE 2008, the International Academy of Design and
Technology's 29th annual student fashion show, promises some of
the season's most innovative and memorable fashion moments -
including the unveiling of winning designs from an exclusive
General Motors-sponsored competition in which students created
garments based on GM's hottest concept and new production
vehicles. Winning entries will be modeled alongside the cars
that inspired them, including the Hummer HX Concept, the Saturn
Astra, the Pontiac G8 GT, the award-winning Chevrolet Malibu,
and the Saab 9-3 Turbo X.
A dress rehearsal, open to media, will be staged prior to the
