Somers High School Fashion Show 2023
Written By Ava Nikac
The Somers High School Fashion Marketplace class is getting eager to present their work! At the end of every school year, they put on a beautiful display of their garments with a fashion show. The theme gets chosen by their teacher, Christine Brooks, the summer before they even enter the classroom. This years theme is Artists, Icons, and Architecture. During the first couple of weeks, the students sat around a table, and shared their sketches. Four sketches, with three different smaller themes under the umbrella of the overarching theme. Here you can get a sneak preview, and see which themes each student decided on! Make sure to come see the show and get to experience this talent in person! Monday, June 5, 2023.
