Home shopping channel and Matt Swinney give budding designers a chance to walk the runway
AUSTIN, Texas, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This is not just any fashion week for a select group of Texas high school students. Thanks to Shop LC, an Austin-based home shopping network, and Matt Swinney of Austin Fashion Week; 13 lucky students get to sport their designs on the runway this weekend.
Shop LC has been working with Round Rock ISD Career and Technical Education Fashion students on a larger initiative connecting classrooms to careers in the fashion business industry. The fashion show is just one of the perks of the 8-month pilot program.
"It's been a pleasure working with the students," comments Michelle Long, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility and guest educator at Round Rock ISD. "It's exciting to know that we are filling a gap and bringing real business scenarios to the classroom."
Fashion students from four Round Rock High Schools will show off their designs, from fancy dresses to streetwear to up-cycled pieces.
"It's not every day you get invited to participate in a fashion show. These students have worked extremely hard preparing for this exciting event. You'll see a great mix of upcycled and original designs." says Round Rock ISD CTE Specialist Lucy Sanchez.
Students will walk the runway on Sunday, May 1, during the 2:30 pm fashion show at The Domain. To learn more about Austin Fashion Week and weekend shows, visit http://www.fashionbyevents.com.
