The fashion world is ever-changing. This fall’s fashions, according to Glamour magazine, are cozy sweaters, raincoats, belted dresses, black and white prints and bohemian print dresses.

Although students wear gray skirts and white polos with the optional navy sweater five out of seven days a week, some freshmen are exploring the ins and outs of the fashion world. Twenty-four girls bustled into the art room, ready for another day of Fashion, Fibers, and Funk.

“In class, we will design jewelry, create wearable art and accessories and make fibers such as embroidery, surface design and knit,” Fashion, Fibers, and Funk teacher Penny Selle said.

Many of the girls have interests in the fashion world, which makes this class a perfect fit, according to freshman Aden Mitiku.

“I am considering being a fashion designer when I grow up,” Mitiku said.

Selle said that she shares a similar enthusiasm for the class and is really happy it was added to the curriculum. She said the class is an opportunity for the girls to showcase their talent and interest in fashion and design.

“Being an art teacher is helpful in teaching this class,” Selle said. “I am learning a lot about the fashion industry and using [Adobe] Illustrator.”

Freshman Maddie Manson said she would recommend this class to next year’s freshmen.

“I would recommend this class because it’s something different and I am learning a lot, all while having fun using my interest in art and fashion,” Manson said.
