Project Goodwill: Fashion Merchandising Students Showcase Innovative Work
Three College of Fine Arts students took their creativity to the runway, displaying
their talents and even placing in the competition while working for the greater good
at Project Goodwill: A Night of Fashion and Fun. The annual event supports Goodwill
and its mission to create opportunities for individuals in the community.
Ahead of the competition, junior fashion merchandising major Jaylee VanNewkirk showcased
her design on Good Morning Texas, offering a preview of the innovative work featured in the show. Her look — crafted
from repurposed materials, including that from soft-sided luggage — highlighted the
ingenuity and resourcefulness at the heart of the competition.
VanNewkirk was joined by fellow fashion merchandising students junior Bethany Watson
and senior Adelaide Lovett, a double major in psychology. Together, the students transformed
materials from Goodwill North Central Texas stores into original, wearable garments,
demonstrating both technical skill and creative vision.
