MIDLAND, MI – The weather was chilly and rainy but that did not stop Northwood University students from posing as mannequins in Midland's downtown store windows. This was the 32nd year that students in Northwood's Fashion Marketing & Management program have participated in the event cosponsored by the Midland Downtown Business Association. Spectators enjoyed hot chocolate to stay warm while enjoying the many decorated windows.

Jill Ouellette, chair of Northwood's Fashion Marketing and Management department, said, "The theme (Keeping it Classy in Midland Since 1959) was a great opportunity to bring attention to our campus as well as the long-standing relationship we have with the community. Not only do we enjoy a rich heritage as an institution but we also enjoy a very special bond with the Midland community. And I am very proud of that partnership."

While the fashion students chose the theme, the way each group interpreted it left for a wide range of imagination. The windows were graded and judged in categories. The winners are below:
