Model Stacy Fernandez shares her journey of getting ready for the Rip the Runway fashion show on Friday.

Syracuse is a city that is sprouting with talent trying to find a new angle in the creative world of runways.

Being an intern for The Post-Standard has put me in some pretty awesome situations. On Friday, my task was to cover Syracuse Fashion Weekend, and it has been quite the adventure.
