San Diego\u2019s 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 \u2014 this year\u2019s theme focuses on Hollywood\u2019s glamour \u2014 in an effort to raise money for two children\u2019s charities, while guests enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner party and a boutique. FCC founder Patricia O\u2019Connor will co-host the event with fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes. La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art hosted Rhodes\u2019 collections, including a 1982 solo collection, according to the University of Lincoln Web site. “We\u2019ve 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\u2019 work the past 22 years. “The past nine years we started making money for Make-A-Wish,” Paik said. “It\u2019s turned into its own entity.” This year, college officials decided to add Children\u2019s Variety Lifeline, a Del Mar-based children\u2019s charity, Paik said. “It\u2019s 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\u2019re honoring] Nicki Starr of the boutique Civil Disobedience, and we\u2019re giving away a special secret award,” Paik said. “And Rick Coburn of Factory Vintage \u2014 it\u2019s 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\u2019s event starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Ballroom, Town and Country Resort and Convention Center. For tickets, call (619) 275-4700 and ask for Peter. Dinner tickets are $125, while tickets for the fashion show only are $50.
