Minneapolis, MN, October 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The search is on. The Art Institutes International Minnesota is looking for high school seniors interested in pursuing a career in the fashion industry to enter The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition.
The Passion for Fashion Competition was created to encourage and reward young fashion talent.
