Martlets Hospice had a £700 boost from City College Art & Design students recently when the proceeds from a 2011 charity fashion show was presented to Martlets Community Events Fundraiser Clem Hunnisett. In 'Rags to Riches', Fashion and Textile students from the Foundation and Extended Diploma Art and Design courses had taken unwanted charity shop garments which they then deconstructed and transformed into stunning fashion-wear. The students modelled their own garments, choreographed the show, and did their own make–up. The next Rags to Riches show will be at the College’s Main Hall on Pelham Street on Thursday February 9th at 3.30pm and students are currently busy working on their new creations.
"We're really struggling this year to raise the funds we need so it’s fantastic that a local college wants to support Marlets and it means everything to us", said Clem."I've seen the work-in-progress for the next Rags to Riches and I've been blown away by the students' talent and creativity so I’m really looking forward to seeing everything come to fruition on the big day."
