On Nov. 15, models, merchandisers, photographers and
crew members from Hartstrings, a wholesale manufacturer of children’s
clothing, visited Villanova for a photo shop for its fall catalog.
Hartstrings’ nearest corporate site is located in Strafford.
Approximately 25 children and their parents came to
campus, where the children modeled an assortment of fall fashions that will
appear in Hartstrings’ upcoming catalog. The merchandisers came equipped
with everything from basic clothing to hair accessories, and each model was
outfitted in one or more ensembles. After receiving their finishing touches
in hair and makeup, the models were ready to be photographed. The event’s
base location was the Devon Room of the Connelly Center and from there the
children and crew members traveled back and forth to various sites
throughout campus, such as Mendel and Austin fields.
As the day came to a close, the crew rushed to
complete the shoot before sunset. Megan Updyke, merchandiser for Hartstrings,
was very pleased with the outcome of the shoot and was very appreciative of
the opportunity to utilize the University’s scenic campus. Ed. Note: This
event was a Communication and Public Affairs internship opportunity to learn
about special events planning. |
