Elizabeth Janet Dunn, daughter of Mary and Rick Dunn of Kenbridge, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Virginia Tech May 11, ranking first in her class of 26 students. Dunn earned a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising and Design (FMD). She was selected by the Department of Apparel, Housing and Resource Management (AHRM) to receive the “Outstanding Senior Award” and the program faculty at FMD named her the “Outstanding Senior.”

Prior to graduation a fashion show was held at Virginia Tech. The theme of the fashion event was “Enchanted.” Dunn received the ‘Judges’ Choice Award for Best Design.

Sharing her design philosophy, Dunn states, “My purpose is to create pieces that attract by their simplicity and beauty. Subtle prints, tailored silhouettes, and unexpected embellishments combine to bring an idea that is fresh, familiar and timeless.”
