EASTERN’s Fun with Fashion Program Puts on the Glitz

The Summer Fun, Fun with Fashion class at Eastern Center for Arts and Technology (EASTERN) in Willow Grove finished up the three week program with a fashion show July 11, 2014. Fun with Fashion students modeled their own unique, handmade fashions to parents and friends on a runway created just for them.

Students from the Summer Fun Looking Good program graciously provided hair and makeup services for all the Fun with Fashion designers/models.  Some of the fashions included skirts, shorts, dresses and handbags made from mostly recycled fabric.

“I was truly impressed with the level of creativity of the students,” said Amanda Reh, EASTERN’s Fun with Fashion Instructor.  “They all worked extremely hard to put on an amazing show for their family and friends.  All of the models looked wonderful with hair and makeup done by the Looking Good class.”

Through EASTERN’s Summer Fun program, students get the opportunity to work with the latest technologies while having fun and learning new things.
