LIM College Names Accessories Council Scholarship Winners

LIM College has named the winners of the 2019 Accessories Council Competition, which was held at the school, and included three scholarships awarded to students in the fashion merchandising program. Applicants were judged on the “proposed concept, design and launch” of an accessory product. LIM College said in a statement that during the fall semester, groups of students in the Sustainability and the Future of Fashion and Product Development and Merchandising classes “worked on new outstanding sustainable fashion ideas and forward-looking product concepts for fashion accessories for a specific brand.” The college notes that the ideas were then presented to “one representative from the Accessories Council and one from the company for which the students were developing the products.” For the Charles & Colvard and Accessories Council Sustainability Scholarship, Juniors Samantha Ingles, Isabella Rios and Arianna Porcelli, who were from Professor Tara Maurice’s Sustainability and the Future of Fashion, won $2,000 for their “Street Style” collection, which was aimed at Millennial and Generation X shoppers “who are drawn to sustainable brands and want everyday pieces.” LIM College said the winners worked with their class to create sustainable “products, stories and action plans for Moissanite,” which is a lab-grown gemstone made by Charles & Colvard.
