Harvard and fashion go hand in hand....At least know they do now .Harvard junior, Timothy Parent, has put together Project East,which is a fashion show and benefit set for Saturday on campus in Cambridge, Mass.Clothing by 21 designers from New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo will be featured at the event, including Yeohlee Teng, Thuy Diep, Mary Ping, Alexander Wang, and Lu Kun. Thirteen of the participants are graduates of Parsons School of Design in New York. So far, the students have secured more than $15,000 in sponsorships that will cover the cost of the tent they're renting. They still need another $10,000 or so to pay for expenses such as lighting, the disc jockey, hair stylists, makeup artists, hotel rooms for visiting designers, and a reception. They're looking for volunteers to work as models. Tryouts will be held this Saturday and Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Mather House in Cambridge. Anyone, even non-students, can audition.

Tickets for the show will be available at the Harvard box office or online at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~tickets/. Student admission is $15. General admission is $20.
