COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Missouri 4-H State Fashion Revue was held Saturday, Oct. 8 on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, MO.
Missouri 4-H partnered with the Stephens College Fashion Department faculty and the University of Missouri Graduate Student Association of Textile and Apparel Management (GSA-TAM) to provide judging and workshops for this year’s event.
Workshops held during the event featured experiential learning and connection of skills to real-life applications. Participants learned about sustainability in fashion through “Mend and Make Do” workshops where they had the opportunity to practice repairing and decorating clothing, sewing buttons and tears to help make clothing pieces last longer.
Our participants had the opportunity to model their garments for Stephens College Fashion Department faculty, who served as the judges’ for the competition.
The annual contest showcases youth skills in sewing, knitting, crochet and consumer decision making. Youth ages 8 to 18 who are involved in a Missouri 4-H program were eligible to compete. This year, 56 youth participated, representing 27 counties.
