Special Invitation: PHA Fashion Show

Who: YOU!
 
When: Saturday, June 22, 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
 
Where: Indianapolis, Ind. – PHA’s 2014 International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions

You are invited to attend the PHA Fashion Show – where patients of all ages will walk the runway showing off unique ways of hiding or flaunting their pump, oxygen and more. Make sure you grab a seat to see your PH friends proudly strut the runway. Who knows – the next Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum or Tyson Beckford may be among the mix!

The PHA Fashion Show is an event that many attendees look forward to at each International PH Conference. The PHA Fashion Show tradition began at the 2002 Conference as a workshop demonstrating how to hide pumps, tubes and other medical devices using handbags, scarfs and other fashionable items. That first workshop was presented to a packed room, with standing room only – so it was obvious that there was a need for the information! Soon after, the workshop was expanded into a full fashion show, led by Rynna Ollivier, a PH patient and former model. The full fashion show format continues today, and draws a tremendous crowd at each Conference!
