Mood Fabric Structured Learning Experience 2019

The seniors from the County Prep Fashion Design and Merchandising program visited
Mood Fabrics in New York City this week. Mood Fabrics is the store where the
design contestants from the Emmy-nominated show, Project Runway, shop
for their fabrics and trimmings. The fabric purchased by the students
will be used to construct garments for FCCLA competitions and the
County Prep Fashion Show. During this structured learning experience,
students demonstrated their planning and time management skills,
critical thinking, and problem-solving strategies as well as research
skills and the elements and principles of visual art. Cost analyses
were used to determine the fabric consumption of the purchases. We
look forward to seeing the finished designs on the runway this May at
the County Prep fashion show.

Students were excited to have their picture taken with" Swatch" the mascot of Mood Fabrics who has appeared in numerous Project Runway
episodes since 2007.
