FashionTeens – GUIDELINES
FashionTeens is a production of Pivot: The Art of Fashion in collaboration with the Santa Cruz
County Office of Education. FashionTeens is open to ALL middle and high school students in Santa
Cruz County and culminates in a live runway show at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on Friday,
April 23, 2021.
Important update regarding this year's FashionTeens 2021 show:
While there is still uncertainty regarding Covid-19 and large gatherings, we are simultaneously
planning for a live event and virtual event. We successfully pivoted to a virtual event last year on
short notice, and we are confident we can do so again. We will do our best to provide materials
and support to students with either plan.
