The highlight of the afternoon was our very own version of “Project Runway.” Each table was given drafting paper, one roll of red and one roll of black crepe streamers, aluminum foil, tape and scissors. The au pairs selected one model from each table and created an outfit of their own design. They were allowed 20 minutes for the project and the results were amazingly clever and creative.
Few of the au pairs had heard of the TV show “Project Runway” but they caught on very quickly. Each table (five in total) put together a dress that included clever accessories. During the judging, one au pair described each model’s particular dress – how they created it and how they utilized the various materials provided.
Top prize went to Frida Krokstrom’s table “team” for most creative/stylish outfit but every table won in a special category: best dress to wear New Years Eve, best accessories, best use of color and best use of materials.
Frida is from Sweden and her table of designers were au pairs from Brazil, Australia and Germany:
