Doing fashion their way

We all know about fashion shows in Paris and New York, but what about McLane High School in Fresno,California?

At McLane, teenage models walked down the cafeteria stage to music, flashing pink lights and a smoke machine. A crowd of 500 students at the school’s show this month screamed as if Justin Bieber was walking down the catwalk instead of their 14-to 18-year –old classmates who had designed their own outfits.

The Art Chic Fashion Show was the result of two months of work by about 200 students in Paul Germain’s art classes.

Students were tasked with creating a completely new design---no Googling was allowed.

Creating the outfits was harder than you might expect. Many students say the class is the hardest they’ve ever had.

In a school that had the lowest graduation rate in Fresno last year, where 87 percent of students are poor enough to get a free or reduced-price lunch, Germain holds his students to high standards.

As Germain puts it: “Expect a miracle and make your miracle happen.”

Students handed in at least 32 sketches before Germain gives his approval. They spend a month and a half in the classroom using needle and thread, staples and cloth or other materials to create wearable art for student models to show off on the runway.

Germain came up with the idea for the fashion show after the retired local fashion designer Richard Ingersoll spoke to his class.

“The kids were just fascinated,” Germain says. “ They loved it.’’

Everybody wears clothes, so Germain thought the kids could relate to the topic.

“That’s key”, says Susan Schlievert, a Fresno teacher.

“Sometimes the arts are the reason they stay in school,” she says. “ That is the motivation. They’re not staying there to write an essay.
