I am so proud of my students this year! They had so much fun making these projects! I hope you enjoy watching this VIRTUAL FASHION SHOW! Former Student of Provo, Erin Robertson has been selected as a contestant on SEASON 15 of the popular reality TV show PROJECT RUNWAY.
To preface this blog, I want to tell you that Erin has not only been competing on the popular reality show, but she has been finishing at the top of each episode. Erin was not only selected from a large number of people who aspire to be fashion designers, Erin is succeeding! I personally have watched almost every season of Project Runway because I love it. And the main reason I love the show is because I feel like my classroom atmosphere is very similar to the atmosphere on Project Runway. In the seasons I have watched, I have seen several contestants, who were actually educated and working in the field and from Utah. These designers, early on were tagged as boring and did not have a designer voice, and as a result were eliminated early in the competition. Erin is not being tagged like a typical Utah contestant. I have been excited to hear the judges commentary about Erin's creativity. "Erin's fundamental talents are coming through and impressing the judges. Here are some of the things the judges have said about Erin's work. "If I was shopping online and I saw that, it would go in my cart, absolutely." Nina Garcia "It is interesting that when Erin's designs come out on the runway, we can immediately see that it's Erin." Nina Garcia In reading Erin's BIO, she notes her education as having graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, with a bachelors in Fine Arts. Of course, the part that is not recognized and generally not posted in an education BIO, but fundamentally important in student preparation, is their pre-college preparation. I, as her former Fashion Design teacher, would like to discuss some of Erin's pre-college preparation that led her for her current success. I taught at Provo High School for 17 years.When I was a teacher at Provo High l had the honor of working with Erin as a pre-designer. Welcome to: |
