The show was a collaborative project between students studying the Fashion and Textiles Foundation Diploma in Art and Design and BTEC Extended Diploma in Art and Design and was titled ‘The House of God’ which took place at St Giles Church in Newcastle-under-Lyme on Friday 13th June.
The students worked on a number of different aspects of putting together the fashion and textiles event. The students designed and made the outfits for the catwalk show, photographed and video recorded the event and promotional material including posters and tickets were designed and printed.
On the evening students raised over £800 for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice and Mind.
Lauren Spragg, Lecturer in Fashion at NULC said: “All of the students involved worked extremely hard to organise the charity fashion and textiles show. Their hard work paid off and on the evening we had over 400 in attendance and over £800 was raised for the selected charities.”Representatives from both charities were presented with a cheque at NULC’s £60 million campus on Knutton Lane on Monday 30th June.
She continued: “The students really enjoyed every minute of the event and the whole experience. It gives them a real insight of what a future career in this industry will be like. I’m proud of all of them.”
