On a cool
evening in West Midtown Atlanta, VSGal trotted on over to
Studio 1*five*0
for UrbanCouture Remixed a preview of the upcoming May fashion
show. Unlike other fashion shows, this is one of a kind. "UrbanCouture" is the
only fashion course offered at a high school in the entire nation. Each year
E. Vincent Martinez, fashion maven and teacher at Grady High School, proudly
presents the year's senior fashion students collections. Modeled by the
students themselves, each student designs between 6 and 9 pieces to be presented
in the May show.
The preview show featured one outfit from each of the designer's collections.
The "catwalk" was painted by Scenario and is a representation of an
aerial view of the Old Fourth Ward area of Atlanta. Leslie Fram (previously
Atlanta's 99x morning show radio personality) was the MC for the evening's
events.
