Ciara Lunghi of Massapequa recently participated in Roosevelt Field’s Broadway by Design, a competition between fashion design students from Nassau Community College.
Seven designers created a customized look for their model inspired by Broadway’s Pippin, Motown the Musical or Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. They had $100 budget for materials and had to complete the process in six weeks.
The looks were revealed during a live action runway presentation and judged by a distinguished panel.
“We were thrilled to host this exhilarating program and provide these talented students with exposure to a wide audience,” said Nancy Gilbert, director of mall marketing for Roosevelt Field. “All the looks were unique and captured the look and feel of the chosen Broadway show.”
Sharyne Wolfe, a professor at Nassau Community College commended her students efforts.
“Participating in the Broadway by Design competition was a tremendous experience for these talented designers and one that will benefit them as they complete their education and move onto careers in the fashion industry.”
