Hemline for Hearts is back in a big way. The design competition and service learning project benefits the <\/span>American Heart Association<\/span><\/a>-Triangle (AHA) and calls attention to the organization\u2019s <\/span>Go Red for Women<\/span><\/a> campaign, a national movement to end heart disease and strokes in women. Hemline for Hearts kicked off this fall and will be the event\u2019s second year, with hopes to engage the community and University even further.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same fashion as last year, 16 <\/span>NC State Wilson College of Textiles<\/span><\/a> students from FTM<\/a><\/span> 315: Fashion Product Design<\/span><\/a> were asked during the Fall semester to create designs for dresses fully made of red paper hearts. Based on the sketches, six of the students were selected by representatives from the AHA. These designers will compete in a live \u201cProject Runway\u201d style competition at Crabtree Valley Mall on Feb. 3, where they will bring their dresses to life in just four hours.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
