Yesterday morning I was waiting at Jiffylube while getting an oil change. To prevent bordem I picked up a copy of the Savannah Morning News. I instatnly knew the read was going to be enjoyable because the front page story was about the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC. You may be thinking 'why is Fashion Week on the cover of the Savannah Morning News'? Well, having a prestigous art college in our city is the answer. September 9th marked the date where "22 recently graduated students from the Savannah College of Art and Design (and their parents) showed their senior collections under the tents at Lincoln Center at the ELLE Fashion Next Show, ELLE magazine’s initiative to promote young designers" (savannahnow.com). If this opportunity wasn't cool enough, two of the students made a name for themselves by both recieving an award worth $25,000.
I think it is wonderful that local fashion students are accomplishing such big honors. It's hard enough to graduate from college in the economy we live in now, and graduating from an art school only seems to make circumstances harder. I also think that it is great that the community is showing their support in the local newspaper.
