Project Runway
As described in today's West Covina Highlander article (http://www.sgvtribune.com/highlanders/westcovina/ci_6577029), about 25 teens, siblings, and parents joined us for our mock-Project Runway at West Covina Library on Tuesday, July 31. We provided ribbon, buttons, and other decorative notions that young adults used to "rehab" or refurbish older garments. For example, an old pair of jeans looked new with some bedazzling (glued on gems) and a shorter length (i.e., bell bottoms become pedal pushers). We also supplied T-shirts that teens decorated.
Young adults had one hour and fifteen minutes to complete garments. Then, they modeled! The teens and their modeling siblings rocked the catwalk. A photographer from the Highlander was planted at the far end, and music blasted from a CD compiled by a teen, which included Santinos runway selections from the TV show, Project Runway. Meanwhile, the TV played The Devil Wears Prada. The top three winners received great prizes, including a tiara, golden Barbies, swag bags of books and gift certificates (like those given at the Oscars). Two runners-up received Starbucks gift cards.
