SUPPORT EDUCATION, CULTURE & CREATIVITY!
Would you like to help to foster and promote
creative arts and business in the community?
Would you partner with education to promote the good in this community
and encourage more events that boost the reputation of all that is good?
We realize that you are often bombarded with requests for support and, as the economic times have hit
many businesses, in education, it is the career programs that suffer most. Unfortunately, it is also those
career programs that benefit a community’s economy and its ability to rebound and grow from
economic hardship. In education, these are also the programs that are often the most misunderstood.
The Fashion Program boasts one of San Joaquin Delta College’s most successful programs, but also one
of its least funded. Therefore, it has been left to the students to raise funds for their own academic
activities, including field trips, special events, fashion shows and even the program’s marketing and
outreach. And, it is up to those who care about the program to reach out for assistance to keep it
thriving on the Delta College campus!
We manage to do a LOT with very little! The Fashion Program is incredibly successful, preparing students
for realistic and successful careers in the fashion industry and it is reflected in the success of its students
who have graduated and are now doing amazing things!. The program has grown over the past twenty
years into a model program for the community college system. Delta’s Fashion Program has had great
success in the past twenty years and has produced some incredible success stories! Stockton can be
proud of the fact that such a thriving and respected program exists in its community.
Many businesses will turn us down for a variety of reasons. But, consider that the Fashion Program
receives the least amount of funding at the college and all of the marketing (including this sponsorship
packet) and all of the program development is done by one faculty and a team of students. Any
support you might be able to offer would be welcome with sincere gratitude.

WE GIVE BACK
The Fashion Program is intimately connected with the fashion industry in a number of ways and work
to bring those connection to San Joaquin County through a variety of events, one of which is our
annual Meet the Fashion Industry Insiders, bringing influential industry professionals to the college to
share their insights with our students and to network with the community.
The program partners with non-profit philanthropic groups like the American Heart Association and
the American Cancer Society, raising funds and awareness through a variety of projects: Lee Denim
Day, the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, Go Red for Women Campaign.
The partnerships are also extended to local businesses and organizations by offering interns to work
and train for jobs, assistance and student help with events and shows and special assistance with
marketing and event production.
Please consider partnering with us and support our community events. We know you receive requests
from other organizations and we would graciously appreciate any support you choose to provide.
SUPPORT EDUCATION, CULTURE & CREATIVITY!
The Collection Design Show is in its 5th year. We keep it fresh and exciting by
moving locations, creating a different vibe with each environment and using
local talent and discovering new talent. Our shows have attracted as large an
audience as 1000 people in an outdoor showcase under the stars, to an
intimate and exclusive 200-person event, with wine and appetizers and swag
bags that rivaled the best NY show,
The show features the amazing design talent of the students in the Collection
Design class and the organizational and marketing skills of the students in the
Fashion Event class. The show is produced entirely by students with the direction
and guidance of Leslie Asfour, who has spent the last twenty years developing
and building the program and this event. It is a synthesis of designers, models,
videographers, photographers, bloggers, and student who volunteer their time
and energy to make the show exciting, relevant, high-quality and one that is
highly anticipated each year.
The Collection Design students spend 12 weeks designing and producing their
collection of at least 6 looks, constructing all of the garments from scratch and
fitting them to their models. The Event Production class works during those same
weeks, recruiting models and holding workshops and rehearsals for the models,
designing, producing and distributing all of the marketing for the show and
coordinating every aspect from start to finish.
They are also responsible for securing show sponsors to help offset the cost, as
the college does not provide for this event or any in the department. We do,
however, have an amazingly supportive community and industry and we’d love
to welcome you as a part of that community we call “Friends of Fashion.”

About the Fashion Program
The Fashion Program is dedicated to giving students the most current and relevant
education in Fashion so they will be successful in their career goals. Our students
range from recent high school graduates to single mothers and students returning to
college to make a career change. We are dedicated to providing all of our students
with real-world experiences and introducing them to leaders in the business and
networks to help them with their goals!
Our innovative experiences include our Meet the Industry Insiders Event, which we
produce every September, bringing to Stockton fashion industry leaders from New
York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. These insiders have lucrative and impressive
networks that they share with the students.
We work hard to bring culture, art and fashion to Stockton with events like the movie
premier of “Valentino, the Last Emperor,” with a live Q & A with the film’s director,
Matt Tyrnauer. The film was the centerpiece film in the San Joaquin International Film
Festival.
Our students are involved in local events like Lincoln Center’s Bridal Fair, the March of
Dimes March for Babies, the Heart Association Heart Walk, and exclusive events with
Soolip (Los Angeles) assisting in the production of A Soolip Wedding.
They also intern with local retailers and companies like Royal Robbins, Maxine’s Bridal,
Target, American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, Anthropologie, Sacramento
Fashion Week, Apricot Lane, Pac Sun, San Joaquin Woman Magazine, HT Homes,
Crazy Eight, Lincoln Center Marketing, and more.
With the lack of financial support and resources for the program force students to do
their own fundraising for field trips and learning experiences. The students who seek
extra experiences and learning opportunities join the Fashion Club. Through the club,
the students have been able to travel to meet with professionals in the fashion
industry in San Francisco, at MAGIC Apparel Market in Las Vegas, in New York, and in
Paris and London.

In the Press
The Fashion Program has received great support from the media and press and the program’s events have
been widely covered in the media, including local print publications to local television and news shows.

ABOUT DELTA COLLEGE – STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS
San Joaquin Delta College is the successor of the Stockton Junior College that formed in 1935. The success of the
operation was so notable that the College of the Pacific, now University of the Pacific, abandoned freshmen and
sophomore instruction in 1936, bequeathing all instruction to the junior college.
The two institutions shared facilities through World War II, when the junior college added another unique, although
temporary, feature: running an aviation school in Nevada.
Stockton Junior College became Stockton College in 1948, with the total student body at just under 2,000. The
physical change was even more evident, with classes being moved to a 43-acre site just south of College of the
Pacific. The educational pattern also changed, as the Stockton School System restructured into six years of
elementary instruction, four of junior high, and four combining the junior and senior years of high school with the
freshman and sophomore years of college.
The college's vision is the faculty, staff, and students of San Joaquin Delta College envision a community of learners
who pursue and achieve ever higher educational goals, commit themselves passionately to life-long learning, and
fully appreciate the diverse and dynamic world around them.
