Saipan Home School\u2019s Splash Group won first place in the Recycle Wear Fashion Competition, with a gown made of folded and interconnected paper, making it appear like the waves of the ocean.<\/p>\n
The group, led by Jocelyn Lonsdale, 16, walked the ramp Thursday night, with Lonsdale herself wearing the paper gown.<\/p>\n
Members Tikla Brown, 16, and Lakell Villegas, 12 also walked the runway to display their recycled creations. Fellow group member Jennifer Villegas assisted in dressing up the group with their unique creations.<\/p>\n
The group won $500 in cash. <\/p>\n
Lonsdale said they didn\u2019t know what to do with their winnings yet. \u201cWe can\u2019t think of anything right now what to do about our money. It could go into our group\u2019s funding,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Brown said that, prior to the competition night, the group met three times a week to finalize their creation. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a lot of work,\u201d said Lonsdale, adding that their creations were inspired by what they have seen at Wing Beach in Marpi, combined with the passion and the mission for the CNMI to always have a healthy marine life.<\/p>\n
