Lifetime ‘Runway’ finalist fights HIV/AIDS through fashion as Project Condom guest judge

South Carolina scores 2.21 GPA on annual Trojan report card

Annual event promotes safety through fashion

Project Condom is definitely a fun idea. It’s interesting. It’s creative. And what student wouldn’t want to attend a fashion show full of condom dresses? But I’m not exactly convinced that Project Condom is an effective way to raise awareness for sexual health. Modeling condom clothing won’t necessarily cause people to want to use protection more. Furthermore, though there are a lot of people who responded to the event on Facebook to confirm their attendance, there are also many others who don’t know what it is. Perhaps better advertising would spread the word to more people.

The fourth season of Project Condom,the annual fashion show where designers must create outfits out of condoms, takes place in the Russell House ballroom tonight at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m., and seats usually fill quickly.

Put on by Changing Carolina Peer Educators, Student Health Services, Campus Wellness and Carolina Productions, the event’s purpose is to promote safe, healthy sex practices. Summer Rayne Oakes, “the world’s first eco-model,” will be a special judge.
