Ali’s Runway, the fashion show sponsored by the TAKE Foundation, was Jan. 17 at the Overland Park Trade Center.
The TAKE Foundation was created in honor of Ali Kemp. This yearly event began with a runway fashion show featuring local high school students.
Following the fashion show, girls age 12 and up participated in a self defense class.
Originally started as a senior project, almost 100 schools participated in the show.
This year the dresses were designed by Alfred Angelo and Nikki Designs, and supplied by the store Natalie M.
