Arkansas’s largest “green” fashion show, Curbside Couture, offers students in third-twelfth grades the opportunity to apply their creativity and technical skills to create wearable designs made of recycled material. The fashion show is the product of months of hard work by student designers and guidance from educators and mentors. Participants are given the opportunity to attend a mentoring session with acclaimed designers, including Korto Momolu, first runner-up in Project Runway’s fifth season, and the Clinton Center’s own Connie Fails. Winning designs are chosen by a panel of jurors, and winning designers are awarded a cash prize. Registration for Curbside Couture 2022 is now open!

To protect you and your students’ health, as well as the health of our staff and volunteers, we have currently migrated our educational programs online. Clinton Center staff is continually monitoring updates from public health officials. We will determine if Curbside Couture 2022 will be hosted virtually or in-person closer to the event date.
