The 36th annual Iowa State Fashion Show, held on April 14 in Stephens Auditorium, allowed 75 apparel merchandising and design (AMD) students to showcase garments they created. 

Many of those 75 students were presented with scholarships and awards at the end of the show.

Scholarship winners

The Ana Hays McCracken Fashion Show Producer Scholarship was awarded to Josie Brownmiller, a senior in AMD; Emily Clark, a senior in AMD; Jessica Helberg, a senior in AMD and Sarah Waigand, a senior in AMD.

The Lora and Russ Talbot Iowa State Fashion Show Best In Show scholarship was awarded to Katrina Pedrick, a senior in AMD, for her garments in the fashion show that were entitled On The Fringe.

Best in show is the highest honor to be received at the fashion show. 

“Winning best in show has been my goal since high school,” Pedrick said.

She also noted that winning best in show and being someone people can look up to is “amazing.”

Pedrick said that the inspiration for On The Fringe stems from a trip to Greece she went on last April, but production of the garments began in the fall of 2018.
