Mountain Brook student Kathryn Sours, 17, was one of three students selected during Birmingham Fashion Week for SCAD scholarships. SCAD offered a $1,500 per year scholarship to high school seniors and a free one-week summer seminar at SCAD for other students participating in the Rising Design Star challenge.
Birmingham Fashion Week took place from Aug. 25-27 at Boutwell Auditorium in downtown Birmingham.
This was Sours' second year participating in Birmingham Fashion Week's Rising Design Star challenge, and she said seeing her friend model her design during the 2015 Birmingham Fashion Week fueled her to compete again.
Sour was one of five Mountain Brook residents who participated in Birmingham Fashion week's Rising Design Star challenge this year, and one of two who made it to the finals. John Price, 19, was the other finalist. Finalists' outfits were shown in one last runway show on Aug. 27, the last night of Birmingham Fashion Week.
