This year, the 2018 “Rock the Runway” was the biggest one yet with tons of amazing and unique dresses and accessories. This year’s winner was Preston Williams, who was the first freshman winner to ever win the competition. Preston made a two-piece dress and her model Sarah Dremel walked the runway all eyes were on the dress. For the top of her dress, she put on beads one by one to create an incredible design and for the bottom, she used construction paper, rolled it up, and folded it to get the look she created.
