South Effingham High School Student Runway Show

South Effingham High School is proud of its young and promising talented and creative designers who are hoping to make it big in the industry someday and they are working their way towards it.

SEHS has been giving these young hopeful an avenue and opening the pedestal for them to reach for their dream and a chance at making it into the competitive world of fashion.

The students have lit up the runway during the annual runway show where it featured 58 original designs and collections of South Effingham High School student designers last February 25, 2013.

The theme of the show was, “Handmade Couture.”

The designs and collections were modeled by student as well, which is very interesting. Garments are created and crafted by budding designers and presented by student models who also would want to make a career in fashion and modeling, it’s like a tow-for-a-show.

There were actually three categories the designers have to compete on; first is called “kitchen couture” where the idea is basically on aprons, and then there is the “cut-up couture” or what they refer to as up cycled – which means using old clothing to make brand new ones and then the third and last category is the “creative couture” where the designers were given the same pattern and the challenge is how to make it look original and not merely a replica of the other’s work.

The garments were judged by local artists, educators and models and the audience as well got the chance to vote and pick their choices for the best model and designer.

There were two stand-outs for the night, Hannah Coburn and Taylor Sanders and although others did not win, they definitely enjoyed the opportunity and it surely gave them that huge step towards reaching their dreams.

All proceeds of the show were donated to benefit the art department and the annual Cathy Leaf Art Scholarship.
