New Bloomfield senior to compete in fashion show

Prom traditionally is one of the highlights of the senior year of high school.

One New Bloomfield senior is hoping her fashion design skills will help her win a dream prom this weekend.

Mckinzie Welschmeyer is one of five finalists in Stephens College's (project) PROM Fashion Show competition. The winner is to be announced during a prom fashion show at 1-3 p.m. Saturday at the Stephens College Warehouse Theatre.

The show is produced by Stephens fashion students as part of a 2012 Fashion Creative Express Project competition. Junior and senior high school students throughout the state were asked to design their fantasy prom and submit an essay, a mood board and an original dress design or artwork.
