10th annual fashion show, "Rags 2 Rhythm," displayed Fashion students' work with color and texture accompanied by the use of live music, Friday night in the USU Ballroom.

Fashion and Merchandising student, Amelia Knudson-Griffith, said "This is a great way to end the year and a great way to show the community how culture, fashion and hip-hop are intertwined."

Students in the Fashion and Merchandising program, work all year to create "looks" that will best show their image and the diverse theme of exhibiting all four seasons in the entire show.

The event consisted of a runway show displaying whole collections by aspiring designers and the sale of runway clothes during intermission.

Every year the event boasts not only the achievement of all who are involved in the production but the attendance of special guests and the possibility of networking in the professional fashion world.

According to Tristan Wynn, USU Program Council Assistant quoted in the Student Union Newsletter, "Last year some models were contracted for modeling, and there were even a scout from 'America's Next Top Model' in the audience."
