Television Show Is Inspiration For Baltimore School's Fashion Class

The Baltimore Sun (9/25, Burris) reports that sixth-graders at Severna Park (MD) Middle School are "participating in Project Runway, an interdisciplinary class that borrows its name from the designer fashion series on Lifetime. Most of the students say they've watched the show, and they relish taking part in Anne Arundel County public schools' version, which allows them to learn firsthand about the fashion industry." According to the Sun, "The course is in part a revamped version of traditional sewing programs with an interdisciplinary approach that covers practically every area of the garment industry."
