While there are some loose ends, and loose threads, to be taken care of before UH’s 55th fashion show on Monday, May 10, Lynne O’Neill and Melanie Simmons steal a moment on Zoom to open up professionally and personally about the work it took to stage the show for television instead of a live audience. And although the two have talked shop almost every day since February, they discovered during our conversation that they are related by marriage through cousins! Only in Hawai‘i. After some feel-good laughter, the two chatted about how email is unfashionable, their rocky road to the runway and what audiences can expect to see (and love) at this year’s show.
