Hoboken Charter School Fashion Show

This past Wednesday marked the end of another marking period for the Hoboken Charter School. With that comes the end of the Year "Arts Cafe". For this marking period I was lucky enough to teach 9 high school aged ladies how to design and actually sew their own fun accessories. At the Fashion Show, they had the opportunity to show off their wares on the runway. I was able to take a couple of shots at the Fashion Show and thought I might share them with you all:
