I have been working with the textiles students at the Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in order to put on an Eco Chic Fashion Show tonight. In addition to clothing which the students had made in their textiles class, we were also helped by Cancer Research who provided some very high quality clothing for the students to wear, along with Pachacuti outfits which the students picked out themselves on a class visit to our shop. The evening was well attended and was a great success for the students who looked poised and confident on the catwalk and put on a really impressive performance. The fashion show was followed by a talk by Julie from Rags4Riches about the importance of good undergarments and the power of accessories. It was certainly an enjoyable evening for the audience and the students should feel really proud of themselves as I know that it took a lot for some of them to go out onto the catwalk and they all pulled it off with great aplomb!
