Adelaide Hood of Jackson was among the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala., apparel design students to showcase their creations when the College of Human Environmental Sciences hosted the 12th annual Fashion for Life runway show at the Bama Theatre on Nov. 21. This year’s fashion show featured 13 senior apparel design students’ collections that represented their personal design philosophy and target market. Fashion for Life is the culmination of a capstone course that students start preparing for before their senior year. After researching, planning and buying fabrics over the summer, students begin constructing garments for their collection when school starts in the fall. Proceeds from the event’s ticket sales will be donated to the Runway of Dreams Foundation, which works toward inclusion and opportunity in the fashion industry for people with disabilities and highlights the need for adaptive apparel.
