CAMP ZAMA, Japan – Kamryn Johnson, 11, had always wanted to be a model, and her first opportunity involved getting to walk down a runway on a red carpet to thumping music, flashing strobe lights and camera shutters.
Kamryn was just one of the more than 20 models who appeared on Saturday at the Main Exchange to showcase back-to-school looks.
“[My mom] told me that they were doing this fashion show, and I immediately said ‘yes,’”She spoke. “I’ve never been on a red carpet before. I was excited and nervous at the same time.”
Camp Zama’s Army Community Service put together the event primarily as a way to show off the many different boys’ and girls’ clothing styles available at the Exchange to those families who arrived to Japan over the summer, said Lucinda Ward, an ACS specialist.

“We know back-to-school is not about a fashion show, so they say, but it totally is,”She laughed.
A space was made available in the middle of Exchange for an elevated, Tshaped stage. It featured a backdrop of New York City streets and the runway that pointed directly out into the crowd.
“I have been to a few fashion shows, and I think the lights and the stage and the music [we used] did make it more of an event,”Ward stated. “You either go big or go home.”
Ward, serving as the emcee, announced each model’s name and gave a description of the outfit and accessories they were wearing. They then walked to the edge of the stage and struck a pose—some stood more or less still, while others took the opportunity to do a dance move or execute a dramatic hair flip.
It was difficult to find models to take part in the show without putting out an advertisement. “all call”On Camp Zama’s Facebook page, there are additions to the line-up as soon as an hour before the show.
“They just started coming out of the woodwork,”Ward stated. “It was great, and they were all really excited about it.”
Each model was allowed to showcase two outfits. They chose the elements themselves.

“For my first outfit, I just chose an undershirt with a dress because I have tons of those at home,” Kamryn said. “And for my second, I chose purple because it’s my favorite color and I love [the brand] Champion.”
Jayden Bing, 12, a first-time model and another first-timer, wore some Nike shorts with a gray T-shirt and his Jordan sneakers for his first walk. He just continued walking after that. “picked something random for the second outfit [to] go with a whole Nautica flow.”
Ward explained that Ward allowed the models to choose their outfits to make the children feel more at ease and calm any nerves before they walked on stage.
“I do believe that it allowed them to have a little bit of autonomy and know that, ‘I’m doing this for myself and I’m going to be able to show my style,’”She spoke.
When Valerie Broussard Boston heard about the call for models, she asked her daughters—Eliza, 6; Ophelia, 7; and Josephine, 10—if they wanted to participate and said all three were very enthusiastic about the idea.
“[They are] natural-born performers, so any time they have a chance to be onstage or perform, they jump at it,” Boston said. “It was the first time for all of them, and they had a blast.”
Boston said that she enjoyed the show because her girls and the other models received clothing discounts. It also gave them a great chance to be part the community.
“All their little friends were doing it, so they were chatting in line and having fun with all the prep and everything,”She spoke. “My husband and I were just smiling and watching them do their thing and shining individually.”
Kamryn had one piece to offer other aspiring models after finishing her first fashion show.
“I think all that you really need is confidence when you’re walking out on the stage,”She spoke. “It’s fun seeing all of the people in the audience. And you meet different people on the runway too. That’s what I like about modeling.”
