Amari Franklin says she always loved to play dress up.

“When I was probably about five, I would always wear different things and try to stand out the most,” Franklin said.

Now she’s a designer of fancy clothes and one of the top students in Clark Atlanta University’s Art and Fashion Department.

Franklin and classmate Ficara Akins are going places.

“I’m still at a loss for words and in amazement that I was able to go and be in the Paris, France,” Akins said.
