……………………….All of these sketches were done for my Rudi Gernrich critic problem except for the two sketches at the lower right which were done for my 3rd year Norman Norell project.. Again, the sketches chosen were NONE of the above…….Very few 2nd year student garments made it into the year end fashion show which was a big money maker for the school. It was always held in one of NY cities grand ballroom. Before the grand ballroom show a selection show took place. The show took place in the Parsons auditorium. People from the fashion industry were invited……Store fashion merchandizers, editors, fashion designers, fabric people etc etc were all sitting there. They were handed pads with numbers on them, and then the show started. Each garment that came out had a number. if you liked it you wrote yes, and if not you wrote no. You could even write a short comment….You had to have a certain number of yeses for your garment to get into the show. My garment made the show!!! So I was allowed to attend, and sat in a box on the second floor where the students parents sat. It was a big deal for a second year student’s garment to get into the show, and I was thrilled!!!! I can’t believe these sketches were done 49 to 50 years ago!…….So much has happened since then……..That young boy couldn’t have dreamed what was to happen to him!
