âI thought the orange makeup really wentwell with every outfit,â Sophia said. âIn fact, thatâs going to be the focus of the article: âWhy canât we wear different colors of makeup if we feel like it?ââ
âThatâs what Iâm saying!â Deirdre said.
Everyone laughedâincluding Nicole.
That night everyone connected with the fashion show met at Nancyâs favorite pizza parlor for dinner. They took up several tables.
In the middle of the meal, Nicole stood up and said, âI want to apologize to everyone for the things I did. I hid the designs, I hid the clothing, I hid the personal belongings of the other models, and I substituted the orange makeup for the regular makeup. Itâs just a light shade of orange until the runway lights hit it, and then it turns really bright!â She looked at Juliana. âIâm sorry. I was angry that you didnât use my motherâs designsâbecause sheâs a wonderful designer.â
âOh, Nicole!â Juliana said. âI
am
going to useyour motherâs designs!â She shook her head. âItâs just that Iâve been so busy getting ready for the River Heights show, I hadnât said anything about it.â
âJuliana! Mother will be so happy!â Nicole said. âIâm so sorry. That was
very
unprofessional of me!â She smiled. âBut I think the River Heights models were as professional as any models Iâve ever seen.â She turned to Felicity, Elizabeth, Marissa, and Cory. âDonât you agree?â
This time, they all nodded and smiled.
âOh, I just knew this was my career!â Deirdre said.
âWell, I never thought about a career in modeling,â Nancy said, âbut it really was fun!â
âI have an idea,â Nicole said. âAnytime you want to come to New York, you can stay with me and my mother, and weâll take you to some of the famous fashion houses.â
Deirdre gasped. âDo you think when they see me theyâll want me to model for them?â
âYou never can tell,â Nicole said.
âHereâs to a successful fashion showâand a successfully solved case,â toasted Juliana.
Everyone cheered.
D-I-Y Design
Youâre going to become a famous fashion designer and hit the catwalk!
You will need :
Paper
Colored pencils
Magazines and catalogs for inspiration
Letâs get started!
Sketch a body template onto a blank sheet of paper. Make as many photocopies of this template as you want so you donât have to redraw it when you make a new design.
With the colored pencils, create a variety of outfits. You can draw them all for one season (like fall) or for one activity (like ballet).
When youâve finished, print or sign your nameon the design so that people will know you are the designer.
Finally, tape up the designs around your room, and invite family or friends to see your latest collection!
Be creative. Draw the kinds of clothes you want to wear yourself!
