Project Redesign took this message to heart as the inspiration and title for the Prom fashion show last Friday. The show, in the music hall during the junior/senior study hall, featured “what to wear,” and “what not to wear” for prom. The club communicated Modesty is its own beauty; to teach girls that to be beautiful and to be modest are one in the same.
“Every year for the past several years, we’ve tried to educate the juniors and seniors about good fashion choices for prom. In the past, we’ve done this with a humorous “what not to wear” prom booklet. This year, thanks to Project Redesign, Mrs. Schuessler and Ms. Collyer, we’ll be having an assembly with the juniors and seniors featuring a creative power point and fantastic fashion show. The girls have worked long and hard, and it should be a great assembly,” said Mrs. Lanciotti, vice-principal of student affairs.
Originally, the show was set to have a Disney theme. However, last week the committee decided on a military-related theme, which is why the girls wore boots with their dresses. Nine girls modeled dresses of their own and from Stella’s Bridal. Prior to the modeling portion of the show, there was a PowerPoint showing examples of immodest dresses; dresses girls shouldn’t look for. The girls modeled their dresses on a runway marked off by tape with inspirational music playing in the background. Ally Schuessler '12 and Mikia Omar '12 provided an element of humor as MC's for the show.
“I think the fashion show is a great opportunity for our girls to see you can wear dresses that are modest and adorable,” said campus minister Shannon Collyer.
We’ve stayed after school every Tuesday, and given up many of our study halls and homerooms. Over all, it’s been fun,” said committee member Hannah Shafer ‘14.
