COLUMBIA, Mo. – The 2022 Missouri 4-H Fashion Revue drew 56 youths from 27 counties to model their garments and participate in educational workshops Oct. 8 on the University of Missouri campus.

Missouri 4-H partnered with faculty from the Stephens College Department of Fashion and graduate students from the MU Department of Textile and Apparel Management to provide judging and workshops for this year’s event.

Participants learned about sustainability in fashion through “Mend and Make Do” workshops in which they practiced repairing and decorating clothing and sewing buttons and tears to help make garments last longer.

The annual contest showcases youth skills in sewing, knitting, crochet and consumer decision-making.
