It was Project Runway, Armenian Style, when on Friday, September 14, a different kind of fashion show was presented to the Greater Detroit community–one that featured traditional Armenian folk costumes from the villages and towns of 19th-century Western and Eastern Armenia.
The event was sponsored by the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Mid-Council of Greater Detroit, which coordinates the one-day Zavarian Armenian School for area children ages 5 through 16. Founded in 1943, the Mid-Council is comprised of representatives from the five sister chapters of Greater Detroit, the “Zabel,” “Maro,” “Shakeh,” “Sybille,” and “Tsolig.” Proceeds from this event will benefit the Zavarian Armenian School.
