Fashion Forward is hosted by 2 young teens who will give you very different perspectives on fashion. They explore a variety of topics like what’s hot and what’s not, the latest trends including discussions on hair and nails and of course shopping! They will also interview professionals in the industry, such as clothing and jewelry designers and hair and make-up professionals. Listen in and join these teens as they follow a journey on the path to designing their own clothing line.
