College design
program hosts
runway show
BY HEATHER FIORE
The West Windsor Sun
For the first time, Mercer
County Community Colleges
Fashion/Apparel Design pro-
gram hosted Trenton Makes, a
runway show that showcased
four student designers fashions
at the colleges Trenton campus
on May 4. It was MCCs rendition
of Project Runway.
One of the students highlight-
ed in Trenton Makes was Ryan
Ramoo, a West Windsor resident
who has been involved with
MCCCs fashion program since
the fall 2012 semester.
I have always been interested
in pursuing fashion design, and
when a friend of mine told me
that Mercer has a fashion pro-
gram, I thought that would be
perfect, so then I continued on
being a fashion design major at
MCCC, Ramoo said.
A lot of people think that
going to community college is a
negative thing, but the fashion
program here at Mercer is really
amazing.
Ramoo presented three de-
signs from his four-piece collec-
tion at the show a black se-
quined blouse with peplum that
is paired with leggings, a blue
and gold mini dress with a se-
quined and detailed skirt, and a
magenta evening gown with sil-
ver trimming.
Each student was also as-
signed to make an outfit for a dif-
ferent staff member at MCCC.
Ramoos client was Lucia Brown-
Joseph of the bursar's office.
For her, I made a very upscale
satin jumpsuit textured with blue
sequined detailing and trims, and
to go with it, I made a yellow and
blue sequined shawl, he said.
I was lucky that my client
and I are both West Indian, so we
got along really well, he said.
She expressed to me that she
was very into Indian wear, so I
found Indian clothing to be an in-
spiration for my designs.
It was especially fun because
growing up as a Guyanese Amer-
ican, Indian culture is something
Special to The Sun
Ryan Ramoo, West Windsor resident and first-year student at Mercer County Community Colleges
Fashion/Apparel Design program, created three designs for the programs first runway show, Trenton
Makes, on May 4.
