When Seattle Lutheran High School students Grace Puffert and Mary Griffin were asked to complete a senior project they wanted to come up with an idea that would utilize their interests and benefit the community in a way that's meaningful to them.

What they came up with was a fashion show to benefit the Providence Mount Saint Vincent Nursing Home where both girls volunteer.

The two have a strong connection to the nursing home; Griffin attended preschool at the center and Puffert's grandmother lives there.

"I love it there," says Puffert. "I've made some really great relationships."

The two were inspired by the way the Mount brings different generations together and thought that a fashion show celebrating different eras would be an appropriate benefit.

“Fashion Through the Ages” will feature dresses from 1900 to present day fashion, modeled primarily by Seattle Lutheran students.

"Fashion is timeless, and I feel like it's a common ground that connects every generation," says Puffert.

The project has received significant support from members of the community. Local thrift stores have loaned them plenty of clothes and more than enough models have volunteered to participate.

But now Puffert says what they need most is for the community to purchase tickets. General admission will be $10 or $5 for students and all proceeds will be donated to Providence Mount Saint Vincent nursing home.

“Fashion Through the Ages” is scheduled for April 19, 4 p.m. in the Seattle Lutheran High School gym, 4141 41st Ave. S.W. Tickets can be purchased by emailing Puffert at thatoneradgirl@comcast.net. She is also available to deliver tickets.
