The designers.

     To be nationally recognized in one’s profession is what many people dream about, but very few achieve. Three recent UW-Stout grads have done it. Lauren Stark, Hannah Walker, and Megan Ann Wendt are apparel and design majors that have been selected to appear in a national design publication entitled “Emerging Fashion Designers II.” The first installment of “Emerging Fashion Designers” was described as “an essential reference to the newest talent and trends in fashion.” It is expected that the new edition will be just as influential. This is the first time apparel and design development majors from Stout will be featured in such a publication. Apparel professor Gindy Neidermyer believes that this will be vital to the students’ future careers and will give credibility to the program at Stout. The release date is currently unknown.
