Seventeen apparel design seniors presented their final collections at the annual Fashion for Life on Nov. 17 at the Bama Theatre. Fashion for Life is the culmination of a capstone course that students start preparing for before their senior year.
Student designers included:
Paige Becwar, of Orlando, Florida
Zachary Brown, of Mobile
Emma Estill, of Atlanta
Jolie Golden, of Dothan
Ty Helms, of Moody
Izzy Hood, of Ringgold, Georgia
Dannah Jo Johnson, of Centre
Madelyn Lee, of Columbiana
Anna “Wings” Liebbe, of Colorado Springs, Colorado
Jane Lipp, of New Gloucester, Maine
Belle Nichols, of San Antonio
Emilia Obilites, of Novato, California
MyKayla Robinson, of Mobile
Kaylen Rose Ruffin, of Tuscaloosa
DeShawn Samples, of Richland, Washington
Laken Thompson, of Mountain Brook
Elaine Weirich, of Decatur
Participants use knowledge and skills gained from their years of study to meet the challenge of this experiential learning event. The collection development process and production of the show itself mirror what students will encounter once they enter the apparel industry after graduation.
All proceeds from the event’s ticket sales were donated to the United Way of West Alabama. Money raised from sales was matched by Estee Lauder Companies.
