For the fashion show, Fanning entered three garments. One is a Japanese-style kimono. She decided to make the kimono when she found satin she liked at Jo Ann Fabrics. Fanning decided to make a kimono because it would be something different. Another piece she entered is a 1950s dress she made in around four weeks for class. Fanning decided to make a dress because other students were making blouses. The final piece Fanning entered is a knit cardigan she made in her class as well. While students were making leggings, she decided to do a cardigan because it would be something easy to put on during the fall. “I just love to be creative and different,” she said.
