“Five minutes everyone! I need everyone in line ready to go in five minutes!” Ruth Bibby’s voice had the power

to make us all feel as though we were about to pee our dresses at any moment. The nerves were high, but the excitement was even higher.

Kayla Humphries, a model

in the My Fair Lady

collection, said, “I was

honestly really excited the whole time backstage. I couldn't wait to get out

there and let everyone

see all the hard work [my designer] had put into my dress.”

Before we knew it, the

music was pumping, the

first models were

taking the stage, and

audience was

matching our energy!

The 7th Annual

Family and

Consumer Science

Fashion Show was

finally here.

This year’s theme

was Project

Hollywood.

Fifteen student

designers created

38 looks based

off of iconic Hollywood movies

like Pirates of the Caribbean,

Phantom of the Opera,

Grease, My Fair Lady

and many more.

Designers spent a total

of five months creating

one to four outfits for

men, women, and/or

children. Some

designers turned the

movies into

contemporary looks

while others took a

more abstract haute

couture design.

Several designers

even created

collections of

three to four

outfits.

While everyone

accomplished

so much as far

as personal

growth,

creativity, and

experience,

there were a

few stand-

out

designers

who took

home the

top prizes.
