Harvard students aren’t all nerdy bookworms who’d rather study physics than shop for labels. Don’t believe us? Check your stereotypes at the catwalk and head to the second annual Project East Fashion Show, a collaboration between local college students and an eclectic mix of Asian fashion designers’ collections (think big names like Issey Miyake and Angela Chen alongside lesser-known Parsons grads). The event was founded by Harvard seniors Timothy Parent and Kristin Kim to bring Eastern fashion to the masses. The show starts at 8 p.m. in Harvard Yard, with a reception and silent auction (featuring goodies from Issey Miyake and Lanvin, to name a few) to benefit Artists for Humanity — a Boston nonprofit providing arts and business training to the city’s youth — to follow. Tickets ($15) are available at the Harvard box office (1350 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.496.2222). Looks like Harvard is pretty haute after all.
