News & Record Features Reporter and Goodwill Enthusiast talks about her fashion show experience…
It was my first time attending Rock the Runway, and it was really cool to see this caliber of a fashion show here in Greensboro.
It really drew a diverse crowd – from young teenagers to grandmothers. And you could tell a lot of people really had fun getting dressed up for the show. I love clothing and fashion, so it was really neat to check out what everyone was wearing at the mixer.
The show, itself, was even more fun because the audience was so supportive. The applause and cheers as the models came down the runway was really infectious.
The looks, themselves, were totally amazing. I have shopped Goodwill, so I wasn’t surprised that you could get such finds there, but it was super cool to see how everything came together – shoes, handbags, the amazing jewelry (which I know didn’t come from Goodwill, but totally complemented the outfits).
Because Hannah, the stylist, is a fashion expert, it also was a neat preview to what’s going to be hot this spring and summer!
