Viewfinder: Portsmouth Students' Designs Shine on Runway

Portsmouth may not be the world fashion capital, but that didn't hinder Portsmouth High School students from producing their own runway show Tuesday night in the school's gymnasium.

Senior Audrey Rinkel hosted and put together the show, titled "RUNthisWAY," as her senior project.

The event featured three sections, the first being a showcase of clothing from local retailers , Island Surf and Sport, Viking Tuxedo, and Closet Revival.

A second portion of the show constituted five themes, such as "all white" and "bohemian."

The final segment featured designs by students Grace Perkins, Samantha Crompton, Haley Nace and Chaz Aracil, as well as contributions from Portsmouth High School teacher Nancy Brandley.

"It was a great show, and there was a good turnout," said an appreciative Rinkel.

Proceeds will fund the senior class at Portsmouth High School.
