Fashion R***e for Everyone

Fashion R***e is a fun opportunity for 4-H youth to model an outfit they’ve made, purchased, or upcycled that fits their personal style and a specific purpose like school, sports, or special events. Participants bring their outfit to judging on Tuesday, July 21st, model it, and answer a few simple questions. Judging focuses on the overall look, including fit, style, accessories, and confidence. Youth may enter up to three outfits (one in each category) and can also choose to participate in separate Clothing project judging. All participants are invited to model again at the Public Fashion R***e on August 7th at the fair. For more information check out z.umn.edu/BentonSharedResources
