The glamorous awards season may be in full swing in Hollywood but Teesside students have taken to the catwalk in a charity fashion show that celebrated the golden era of the 1950s.
The annual extravaganza staged at The King’s Academy, in Coulby Newham, raised more than £1,200 for charity and gave design students the chance to display their work.
The two-hour show featured the latest prom fashions for men and women supplied by local retailers including Destiny, Skopes and Quiz, in Middlesbrough, Joanne Kay, of Stokesley, and Euphoria, of Yarm.
GCSE design technology students exhibited their eco-wears and A Level fashion students showed off their creations, the culmination of months of hard work.
Event host assistant vice principal Carey Brownless also introduced students modelling hand-painted hessian and canvas bags created by King’s Pins, the academy’s own design house.
Proceeds will go to the school’s three chosen charities - Butterwick Children’s Hospice, The Great North Air Ambulance and Uhuru Ministries, a Christian foundation that helps orphans in Kenya.
Principal Chris Drew said: “The fashion show was another stunning spectacular that reflected an incredible amount of hard work on the part of students, staff, parents and local businesses. It’s especially rewarding for our students who get to see their own designs on the catwalk.
“It is established as a firm favourite in the academy’s calendar and is much enjoyed by the community who help raise invaluable funds for our three important charities.”
