Berry student interns for fashion designer

ROME, Ga. -- A Berry College student got the opportunity of a lifetime this summer: an internship with a nationally-known fashion designer.

Alabama native Sydney Hulebak spent her summer at Billy Reid's studio in Florence, not far from her hometown of Huntsville. Reid's designs have been described as "the modern approach to American work wear and cultured Southern dandyism."

"Personally, this is something I have always dreamt of doing. Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to work in fashion," said Hulebak, who is majoring in communications with a focus in public relations. "I came into college thinking that I wanted to be a fashion journalist, which I would still love to try, but really discovered that I love the hands-on process too much to not give it a shot."

Hulebak added that she applied for the internship on a whim, never believing that she would get it.

ROME, Ga. -- In the spirit of the upcoming Steeplechase festivities, the Rome-Floyd Visitor Center and Last Stop Gift Shop are hosting an exhibit showcasing vintage hats.

The handmade hats are from longtime Rome resident Pauline Ware Neal's personal collection. They now belong to the Chieftains Museum and Major Ridge Home.

The ten hats were all made circa 1940 by a variety of millners.

The hat collection can be viewed all week at the Visitor Center, which is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
