| PEOPLE OF MULGRAVE - JESSICA HU (G11) | |
|
|
| This week we interviewed Jessica H. (G11) who has a big weekend coming up.
This Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am to 1:00pm, Jessica's fashion designs will be featured along with designs from well-known labels and designers in Vancouver's Kids Fashion Show (part of Vancouver Fashion Week). The aspiring architect decided to try her hand at fashion design after her Mulgrave art teacher sent her information about a competition by the event organizer. She was the only student picked to exhibit her work, something she is "surprised by, but proud of." Watch the full interview here.
