This past Friday (10-17-08) Columbia held its first Back To School/AIDS Awareness Fashion Show. The show was a huge succezz thanks to the support of SuccezZ The Store, Jugrnaut Chicago and the hard work of Jillian & Shenelle, the show coordinators. Shouts out to all the students and models that came together and worked hard to make this a COCA event. For those who missed it, here is a few pictures to make you little green with envy for missing a great show:
C.O.C.A = COAT OF CHICAGO ARMS (Noun or Verb) The origin of the “slang terminology” turned out as a high form of compliment during the original '80’s Baby' era to describe someone’s sense of style or profound taste in music, whips, cribs, a guy/chick or an event … now that’s C.O.C.A!
WE BELONG TO …
Coat Of Chicago Arms belongs to an echelon group of preciseness. This group: Strives for Unity, which provides Strength, seek New Beginnings within self and other beings, Make continuous progress and choose to be Educated. They believe and act upon taking a stand for the betterment of the Community and most importantly they’re Stylish without question or as The Chairman of the Board chooses to say … ALWAYS KEEP YOUR STYLE C.O.C.A.!
C.O.C.A STANDS ON …
I. Unity/Strength: Unity provides strength, and without it we're doomed to fail. II. New Beginnings: We should never be stagnant. We must strive for ‘New Beginnings’ to take us towards new heights. III. Make Progress: It’s said that “Without struggle there is no progress.” We all have our fair share of struggles in life; however, we must not quit or lose sight of our goals. We must continue to make progress. IV. Education: Acquiring Knowledge in our field is the first step towards providing the Power we need to succeed in everything we strive to do and build. V. Community: We are ‘Ambassadors of our Community.’ We must uphold the values that speak loud and clear to our dedication to keep our community strong and valued. We must begin in our living rooms to transcend to a community with strong moral values. VI. STYLE: To be stylish is simple; NEVER FOLLOW TRENDS because trends fade. TRUE style is an expression of Individualism with a dose of Charisma. To be stylish equates TRUTH-2-SELF.
