Hilton High School Semi-Annual Fashion Runway show features modeling, design and sewing skills

For the past 15 years, Family and Consumer Science [FACS] teacher Carol Cowan and students have taken their design, sewing and modeling skills on the runway.  This year's Winter Fashion Show was held January 5 on the stage in the Hilton HS Auditorium.

Among the students who are interested in pursuing a career in fashion is Sara Hudson, a freshman who wants to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC.  "Her garments were meticulously sewn," Mrs. Cowan said. Participating in the January show were: Liz Meader, Nicole Probst, Yulianna Poplavskiy, Marissa Powers, Stephanie Spring and Claire Wolters.

Students were coached by Rochester's Mary Therese Friel http://www.mtfmodels.com/  and husband, Kent, who have a special and abiding interest in Mrs. Cowan's students and their potential for modeling.  Mary Therese Friel has worked for more than a decade with Hilton High School fashion and design students as they prepared for a semi-annual runway show held at the High School.
