“Reality Overload,” the theme of this years 13th annual Asian American Association Fashion Show, will be based on America’s favorite reality series.

The show will begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday at the Egyptian Theater, 135 N. 2nd St., and will last for over two hours.

This show is packed with popular up-beat music, dancing, videos and skits, said Janet Yap, a sophomore elementary education major.

“Basically, each scene is made up of a dance, a skit and a walk,” she said. “Each dance is made up by the choreographers and taught to all the models.”

This year’s show includes everything from casual to club clothes. Yap said she enjoys the “hip-hop” look for the summer.

“To me, the hip-hop look is a casual-looking sporty top and trendy-looking dirty jeans,” she said. “This year for the fashion show, men and women are modeling clothes that have to do with their specific scene. For example, the club scene would model club clothes, the casual scene would model casual clothes and so on.”

Fashion show models began practicing about five months before the show.

Richard Bernardo, a junior communication major and AAA multi-media director, said they are hoping to see about 400 people turn out for the show.

“We’ve been working very hard on this, practicing four times a week since January, and we hope it turns out really well,” Bernardo said.

Tickets are free for NIU students with a student ID, $3 for non-NIU students with an ID and $5 for anyone without a student ID.

“It’s the AAA’s biggest event of the year,” Yap said. “Anyone who decides to attend the show will not regret it.”
