Last month New Design High School
held its annual Newspaper Fashion Show. A small group of students began the
tradition in 2007. During the show students walk down the runway wearing
outfits made out recycled materials: mostly newspaper and tape. Students
compete with each other in front of a group of judges based on categories such
as “best walk” or “most creative” etc., and model outfits made by themselves or
their friends.
The host, our own Michael Casiano,
charmed the crowd with his colorful commentaries and Victoria Ruiz, a senior
was, like always, a big highlight of this year’s show. She entertained the
audience with her charismatic personality, her many expressions, her walk and
an amazing newspaper outfit. Anthony Sierra and Ana Quiroz also stole the show
this year with their "Alison and wonder land" theme. The pair wore
stunning matching outfits and had perfectly styled. The pair won best in show.
Last but not least, Donis Almanzar’s paper outfit left the crowd amazed with
his piece inspired by the designer Givenchy. The outfit was voted best in
menswear.
This year’s judges included real
industry insiders. We had Magen Tou of Bonton brands, Katie Hart of Free People
, costume designer Kate Cusak, Lana Russo of Glamour , Steven Dool of PR agency
and finally our own Dr. Scott Conti principal of New Design High School.
Students are also given a grade in their design class for participating in
show.
Our winners came all from different
grades and were awarded in different categories.
Best in Show, as already mentioned,
went to Anthony Sierra and Ana Quiroz. Best Menswear was awarded to Donis
Almanzar and Best Accessories and Styling went Emmanuel Campana. Most
Entertaining went to Andrew Arce; Ann Christine Velazquez won Best Use of Color
and Pattern while Alexa Garcia won most wearable.
