Fashions on Ice returned in fine form last week on a bright sunny evening at the Sun Valley Lodge ice rink.

A large crowd observed the choreographed show from the bleachers and the deck of the Sun Valley Lodge. Fashions on Ice, once a valley institution, had not been held for eight years.

Organized by the non-profit Sun Valley Figure Skating Club to benefit its programs that promote figure skating through lessons, competitions, tests for levels advancement and assistance with competition costs for its members. There are currently 88 active members of SVFSC, a United States Figure Skating Association sanctioned program.

Adults and children skaters modeled fashions from nine valley shops, including Paula’s, Panache, Brass Ranch, Kitzbuehl Collection, the Skate Shop, Undercover Agency, Girl Street and Board Bin.

Herman Maricich, former director of the skating program, escorted models from the Sheepskin Coat Factory on the ice. It was the first time he’s performed in 10 years.

"It was a tremendous success," said Constance McCamant, SVFSC executive secretary.

The fashion show is a vestige of when Maricich was the director of the skating program.

Over a hundred items were auctioned off in a silent auction following the show.

Members of the SVFSC perform weekly in the children’s program in the Saturday night ice shows.
