FOREVER YOUNG
Qui sera la reine du bal ?
Soirée bénéfice au profit de la Fondation de lutte au décrochage scolaire de Montréal
Montréal, le 26 février 2009 – Les Productions A+ dérouleront le tapis rouge, le 19 mars prochain à La Tulipe, pour la première édition de FOREVER YOUNG, une soirée sous la thématique du bal de graduation, au profit de la Fondation de lutte au décrochage scolaire de Montréal. Activités ludiques, musique rétro et actuelle, univers burlesque et robes à paillettes recréeront l’ambiance d’une soirée de graduation de rêve. Venez défiler sur le tapis rouge, danser au son de l’électrisante musique de DJ Plastik Patrik et participer à nos différents concours ainsi qu’au couronnement de la reine et du roi du bal. Animée par la charmante Valérie Roberts et son acolyte Jeff Lizotte de Bombe.TV, FOREVER YOUNG vous offre une occasion en or de donner une deuxième vie à votre tenue de bal!
Danser pour reprendre le « beat »…
Notons que chaque année, depuis 2004, 40% des jeunes montréalais qui quittent l’école n’ont pas de diplôme d’études secondaires. Le bal de graduation représente le couronnement ultime de la réussite scolaire. C’est pourquoi Les Productions A+ misent sur ce thème afin d’amasser des fonds pour la Fondation afin que chaque jeune puisse à son tour aspirer au titre de reine/roi de son bal de graduation.
À propos de la Fondation
La Fondation de lutte au décrochage scolaire de Montréal a été créée, en 1990, par un groupe de partenaires issus du milieu de l’éducation et du monde des affaires. La Fondation a pour objectif général de contribuer à la réussite éducative des jeunes montréalais. À cette fin, elle finance les opérations du Carrefour de lutte au décrochage scolaire, un organisme régional oeuvrant activement auprès des cinq commissions scolaires de l’île de Montréal. Le Carrefour met en place des initiatives de prévention de l’abandon scolaire destinées aux jeunes et aux familles et encourage le partage des pratiques novatrices entre les divers partenaires scolaires, municipaux communautaires et d’affaires de Montréal.

On November 28th, 2008 four jury members gathered at Telio’s head office, the purpose of this meeting was to select the 25 student-finalists that will participate in the upcoming edition of its competition presented during the 16th edition of Montreal Fashion Week on March 5th at the Bonsecours Market. In keeping with its commitment to support young Canadian designers, Télio is pleased to invite these up-and-coming talents to create their high end women’s designs from a pre-selection of fabrics provided by the company. They offer them an opportunity to receive one of five scholarships totalling $10,000 to help launch their budding fashion career. Télio is one of North America’s leading import/export and distribution companies whose textiles are at the cutting edge of fashion.
The 2009 Jury
This year, Télio asked four of the country’s top fashion industry professionals to be a part of the jury for the 2009 National Télio Design Competition. Nathalie Atkinson from Toronto (National Post’s style columnist and contributing fashion editor and freelance writer for Elle Canada, Chatelaine, Flare and Fashion), Glen Baxter from Toronto (Host of IN FASHION, Reporter for FashionTelevisionChannel and photographer), Ruth Ho from Vancouver (buyer for the Canadian by Design department at the Bay downtown Vancouver) and Stéphane Le Duc from Montreal (editor-in-chief of Dress to Kill Magazine) were thrilled to participate. Subsequently, after receiving 116 sketches from 20 participating fashion design schools across Canada, they had to choose the 25 finalists for the 2009 edition of the National Télio Design Competition.
The 2009 Finalists
The jury members judged the students’ sketches based on several criteria, including creativity, technical quality and adherence to the theme chosen for 2009—an exploration of our Canadian values, inspired by the four universal elements, earth, air, fire and water.
