Saturday, March 22nd at 2 pm Ai Studios and Bloomingdale's present their annual Kids Spring Fashion Show. This fun event for children, their families and friends features real kids - not professional models - walking the catwalk wearing this season's new fashions, all of which are available in Bloomingdale's. The children's department on the first floor will be transformed with a runway and seating to become a fashion event showplace.

Ai Studios (Artistic Impression Studio) is a unique, multi-faceted arts studio offering customized multifaceted after school and summer enrichment programs to meet the needs of public, private, and home schools and the community through courses in Fine Arts, Fashion Design, Digital Arts, Writing, Acting, Dance, Wellness and a variety of other creative opportunities. "We strive to bring our students engaging and fun-filled educational activities, which are both academic and recreational in nature, taught in a safe and structured environment; and provided with their peers in the actual schools themselves during after school hours," says Ai Studios founder and director Antoinette Coppola. "We save parents much time and effort and money spent finding baby sitters or interesting activities for their child to do. Our goal is to inspire our students, to help them express themselves creatively, and to accentuate their creativity in a nurturing and developmental environment."

In addition to offering courses and working with local schools to better enrich students, Ai Studios has created art and fashion work programs that have grown to include partnerships with colleges, universities, and corporations, such as Bloomindale's.  Coppola explains, "We create fashion shows in collaboration with companies like Bloomingdale's. These events are expressly for non-professional everyday youth and adults, designed to promote their self-esteem, help them gain confidence, and allow them to be exposed to professional level activities."
