COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Missouri 4-H State Fashion Revue, Oct. 14 on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, drew 61 youth participants representing 25 counties across the state.

Workshops were hosted by MU’s Textile and Apparel Management students and Collegiate 4-H members, said Megan Kershner, MU Extension 4-H clubs manager and awards coordinator.

Students in the MU Textile and Apparel Management program showed intermediate and senior participants some recent projects done by students and gave them a look at the Missouri Historic Costume and Textile Collection, Kershner said.

Collegiate 4-H members spent the day with the junior participants, who learned about consumer decision-making through designing paper doll outfits for different scenarios. These youths had the chance to display their own style while also thinking critically about the scenario, she said.
