With the kids back in school, and Labor Day less than two weeks away, the Burbank Emblem Club squeezed in one last summer fundraiser by staging their annual fashion show luncheon at the Burbank Elks Lodge on Saturday.

When she came to Woodbury University more than three years ago, Jocelyn Ramirez planned to study architecture. But finding out how structured it was, Ramirez felt her creativity would be stifled and switched to fashion. Now in her senior year at the Burbank campus, Ramirez has a sense of the satisfaction she longed for. "I think I can be more creative and express myself through fashion," she said. "I like to make people feel good about themselves and enjoy seeing their expression when they put on clothing that makes them feel special."
