San Diego’s Fashion Careers College (FCC) will host its 22nd annual Golden Hangar Fashion Awards Gala Saturday, Nov. 8, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center. Graduating students produce the yearly runway show — this year’s theme focuses on Hollywood’s glamour — in an effort to raise money for two children’s charities, while guests enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner party and a boutique. FCC founder Patricia O’Connor will co-host the event with fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes. La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art hosted Rhodes’ collections, including a 1982 solo collection, according to the University of Lincoln Web site. “We’ve been around for 30 years; we were founded in 1979,” said Lisa Paik, public relations and advertising coordinator for Fashion Careers College, adding that the college began highlighting students’ work the past 22 years. “The past nine years we started making money for Make-A-Wish,” Paik said. “It’s turned into its own entity.” This year, college officials decided to add Children’s Variety Lifeline, a Del Mar-based children’s charity, Paik said. “It’s mostly for children in Third World countries that have life-threatening heart conditions,” Paik said. “[The organization] goes in and gives them operations and that type of thing.” The Golden Hangars attracts about 1,000 people, according to Paik. The college also awards alumni during the event. “The fashion honorees are usually local people or a philanthropic organization or a graduate,” Paik said. Along with one local woman politician whose identity FCC officials will reveal during the ceremony, Paik said several former students will be honored. “This year [we’re honoring] Nicki Starr of the boutique Civil Disobedience, and we’re giving away a special secret award,” Paik said. “And Rick Coburn of Factory Vintage — it’s a vintage store that does a little bit of wholesale, too.” An Indian student who took the retail display industry back to India, pioneering displays in that country, will also be recognized, Paik said. “Mani Nagasubramaninan is in India and he created the whole industry of retail displays,” she said. “His company is Retail Design and Merchandising.” Saturday’s event starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Ballroom, Town and Country Resort and Convention Center.
