The “Trashion Fashion Show,” industrial design student Ashley E. Mahaffey's senior project with a (re)purpose, was a clear crowd-pleaser in Penn College's Thompson Professional Development Center. The Hughesville resident crafted clothing and accessories from discarded newspapers, magazines and the like, enlisting four friends to model them and eliciting considerable applause as each was unveiled. "Ashley was very happy with the results and very brave in embarking on a project like this," said Thomas E. Ask, professor of industrial design and Mahaffey’s capstone adviser. "She had great assistance by an industry expert, Valerie Beggs, and put tons of energy, enthusiasm and intellect into the project."Photos by Tia G. La, student photographer
