SCOTTSDALE — One by one, the models paraded down the runway as onlookers oohed and ahhed.
After seven months of preparation, the 30 tastefully attired local girls strutted their stuff before parents, grandparents and siblings during the April 20 Pure Fashion show at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.
Pure Fashion, which has garnered both national and international attention in its bid to teach girls how to recognize true beauty, made its debut in the Phoenix area last year. Teenage girls from both Catholic and public schools throughout the Valley have been learning how to be “pretty, not provocative,” as one of the organization’s mottos states.
After showing off their fashionable-yet-modest outfits, provided by Dillard’s, some of the girls addressed the hundreds of people in attendance regarding what they had learned through the faith-based program.
Angela Costenino, a junior at Tempe Preparatory Academy told the crowd about one of the highlights of the seven-month program: a two-day retreat dubbed “A Heart and Soul Makeover Weekend.”
