Your participation as an event sponsor, advertising in their event program, offering discounted rates on services, donations of clothing and merchandise donations for silent auction items will contribute greatly to the overall success of their event. Supporting Children’s Health Foundation helps make it possible for researchers to make medical breakthroughs that lead to new treatment for childhood diseases and ensure that children continue to receive the best in specialized care that they so richly deserve. We are honored to have CAISA as part of the Children’s Health Foundation Family. We truly applaud their efforts and hard work to make this event a success.

Letter From SSSC
The Social Science Students’ Council is proud to return as a sponsor for the CAISA Lookbook this year through the Student Donation Fund. This organization has once again pivoted to produce a stunning lookbook that showcases the incredible artistic vision underlying their initiative. It is great to see their community members being given a chance to spotlight their talents and abilities in the process. Through the distribution of this lookbook, we hope that CAISA’s legacy here at Western can be passed down to our younger students, and we are excited to see this organization’s impact on and off campus for years to come. The Social Science Students’ Council is a student-run governance body dedicated to providing enriching programming, and sponsoring meaningful advocacy, for students in the Faculty of Social Science and beyond. We are proud to say that our team of over 80 elected executives, University Students’ Council and Senate representatives, appointed commissioners and members-at-large come from a diverse array of backgrounds, programs, and walks of life, brought together by a collaborative goal: to help preserve the student experience and engage students in work that makes a difference. This would not be possible without the support of Social Science Students contributions to the Student Donation Fund. We strongly believe that the CAISA organization aligns the SSSC’s driving vision, and we are more than happy to sponsor this year’s lookbook. Congratulations to everyone involved in executing this project - be proud of all of the hard work you’ve done! Sincerely, Nika Bajaj

Letter from Core Three On behalf of CAISA Fashion Show 2022, we are honored to invite you to experience CAISA Fashion Show 2022. MIRA is the culmination of a year’s worth of efforts from a team of over 120 executives and models, each having unique and diverse stories to tell, who have come together to develop this year’s lookbook spectacle. Our theme this year is extremely personal to us, inspired by our experiences as immigrants in Canada, and encompasses a broader story of finding yourself in a world that continually rejects you. This story follows our main character who is seeking a utopia for herself in a dream world, removed from reality and devoid of sadness and suffering. Entranced by this dream, she loses herself completely, until she realizes she cannot escape this dream-turnednightmare. We hope our story of isolation, yearning, love, and acceptance can resonate with those who have felt, and still feel, like they do not fully belong in the world. At the intersection of fashion and philanthropy, CAISA Fashion Show 2022 has committed to fundraising in support of bioinformatics research at Children’s Health Foundation. Bioinformatics is an emerging field of research that aims to characterize the human body at the molecular level to develop personalized patient care. As we continue our partnership with Children’s Health Foundation for the 21st year, our team remains steadfast in making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients supported by Children’s Health Foundation. We would like to thank all of the directors, executives, models, volunteers, and sponsors who have put their heart and soul into MIRA. We are extremely fortunate to have worked with such a passionate and hardworking team this year that persevered through all the difficulties presented to us throughout the year. As one team with one united dream, CAISA Fashion Show continues to redefine the impact that a student charity fashion show can make in our community. We hope that MIRA ignites curiosity and enchanted wonder across each page of the lookbook. On behalf of the CAISA Fashion Show 2022 Team, it is with great pride, excitement and pleasure that we present to you: MIRA. Sincerely,
David Chen Executive Director CAISA Fashion Show 2022
Emily Xie Creative Director CAISA Fashion Show 2022
