Define Your Style!

Get ready to define your style!

Gather ideas from Extending the Runway, the fashion collection of model Tatiana Sorokko. Then, spend time designing your own artistic attire. Use found objects to assemble a cigar-box purse or secret-treasure box that is bound to get everyone's attention!
