Lambert High School students are striking a pose today for the school's first Prom Fashion Show.“I’ve been watching these shows since I was a freshman and I thought they were always so cool,” said junior Cate Hackling. “When I got to be a junior, I wanted to do it really bad.”Hackling and about 20 other students in Amanda Mathis’ advanced fashion marketing class are putting on the show.“We actually have an entire fashion show unit,” Mathis said. “Rather than just learning about it in a textbook, which we did do, we learned about how fashion shows work and what it takes to put one on first."Now we are actually doing it, they’re implementing what they learned.”The 41 female and 22 male models had to audition for the show.
