Atlanta Students got Style
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are a lot of 18 and under types in Atlanta who are interested in fashion and occasionally they call or e-mail to ask me for advice.
Sadly, I don’t have much to offer since I took a total back alley path to fashion writing. What I can do is share success stories of students who are doing big things in the biz…
Victoria Hughes, a senior at Roswell High School is the latest student to show promise as a designer. In December, she won the Passion for Fashion competition at The Art Institute of New York City.
Her yellow evening gown in chiffon over crepe took second place in the national competition and earned her $8000 in scholarship money which she will use to attend the Fashion Design program at AI in NYC this fall.
LUXE Atlanta , Atlanta’s hot spot for discount designer goods, has launched an annual event to inspire senior fashion students at Grady High School.
This year 11 Grady seniors were given $100 to revamp a vintage garment into a Spring 2008 runway inspired look. The fashions will be on display at Discover Mills mall beginning Jan. 16 and will be available for purchase for $250 after a fashion showcase on February 7 at LUXE.
