Seven up-and-coming young designers from the fashion programs at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa and Honolulu Community College will strut their stuff on a runway at the Hawaii Woman Expo this weekend at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall. Shows will be held at 1:30 p.m. today and tomorrow.

The designers are Katie Bodnyk, Lisa Woo, Michele Lau, Budi Staven, Leslie Serapion, Leah Evans and Kelly Mammel. Instructor/artist Carol D'Angelo and her husband, Dexter Doi, have also designed T-shirts to be worn with Serapion's flirty skirts.

Garments will be sold in the students' booth after the shows, along with cards and pins by Allison Roscoe.

Expo hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow. Admission is $5 general, $3 students, military and seniors ($2 discount coupon available at www.hawaiiwomanexpo.com).
