Fashion students recycled show gives new meaning to trash chic
The environment took on high fashion last week as students from Overton Grange school in Sutton presented "Project Trashwalk".
All clothes featured in the show were created using recycled material, including sweet and crisp wrappers, bin bags, and old scraps of clothes in a bid to educated peers, staff and parents to think
more about the environment.
Carshalton College hairdressing students also voluntered their time to take on the mammoth job of styling all the models' hair.
The show raised more than £800 for St John for St John Ambulance and will be used to help train and equip local first aiders. Becky Germaine, a youth
project worker for Millennium Volunteers, said:
"The event was a wonderful success, with the models looking every inch the catwalk professionals."
