“The Chic Daily,” a monthly digital magazine and fashion blog produced and published by ASU’s Fashion Journalism Club held its annual charity fashion show at F.A.B.R.I.C. in Tempe. F.A.B.R.I.C. is a nationally renowned nonprofit fashion incubator adjacent to ASU and was also the recipient of funds raised at the show which took place November 17.

The “Chic in the City” production was the first runway show held at F.A.B.R.I.C. since the pandemic started. The event drew a large diverse crowd that spilled over into standing room only space. The show’s theme incorporated clothing, accessories, hair and makeup inspired by fashion looks from Seattle, London, Paris and New York City.
