After making their amazing fashion looks for art class, the sixth grade art students met fashion designer Daniel Grier. He came and explained what it's like to be a fashion designer, the obstacles, creating designs, and finding inspiration. He reviewed the sixth grade fashion looks and showed off some of his favorite designs. The Q and A with him was so fun and intriguing. Thank you Daniel Grier!
