“Designers…make it work!” – Tim Gunn

Last night we had our Project Runway design challenge for our teens: create a prom dress for the “runway”. The program was in two parts – week 1, we had a fashion design workshop with Ivy Bell-Bazer, teaching the girls how to sktch like a professional designer and create pieces for their portfolios. Some examples of the drawings:

For week 2, we introduced the design challenge: we had them choose fabric and trim to create a prom dress.

We gave them time to create and when time was up, we assembled the runway for the show:


We had the girls “walk” their designs down the runway and tell us a little bit about their designs.











Everyone did a fabulous job and there were many fierce creations! Thanks again to Ivy and all of our talented designers!
