SCHOOL SPIRIT | Fashion club president Elena Shaheen explained the struggle to combine a creative aesthetic with the North style. “We tried to find a balance between the creativity and having a North theme to our bags like North colors — and kind of trying to mix it with modern takes,” Shaheen said.

GRATEFUL FOR A GREAT SALE | Shaheen shares the gratitude of the Fashion Club with their many supporters and patrons. “We’d like to thank all the people who bought tote bags, we appreciate your support of our club and what we came up with for our designs, and we hope to do more stuff like this in the future,” Shaheen said.

THE SALE MUST GO ON | The first tote bag sale took place on Thursday, Dec. 2, while the second and final sale, postponed from its original date due to school closure, took place on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Shaheen took inspiration for the sale from social media. “It was my idea to do the tote bag sale,” Shaheen said. “I [saw] Pinterest tote bags kind of trending and I thought it would be a cute, fun [and] creative idea for us to decorate our own and sell them to the school.” CONTACT US Email: gpnnorthpointe@gmail.com Phone: 313.432.3248 Twitter: @TheNorthPointe
