Fashion students from Harrow College had the opportunity to display some of their creative designs during the Spring Summer Fashion Show held at St Anns Shopping Centre in Harrow on Saturday 14t May 2016.
The event gave shoppers the chance to preview a selection of the latest spring/summer trends via fashion shows put on by various retailers. The show also presented Harrow College students with a stage to showcase some of the work they have produced during the academic year. A series of ‘mini presentations’ from Level 3 Fashion students ensured that the on-looking audience got a nice balance of current and contemporary fashion.
Prior to the show, the students had worked in teams at college to create three white garments, combining their ideas and creativity. Their inspiration came from the word ‘Movement’. Circular shapes and variations of it were incorporated into their creations. To help the learners physically create the outfits and to draw patterns for the dresses, maths sessions were embedded into fashion lessons at college. The ideas for the artworks ranged from movements in Indian dance to political movements in 1960’s. The fully completed range of student work, including further ‘movement’ inspired enhancements which will dramatically transform their appearance, will be on display at the Harrow College end of year art exhibition in June (click here for details).
Hair & Beauty students from Harrow College were also in attendance and put their creative skills to use by offering children’s face-painting to raise money for the local St Mark’s Hospital Foundation charity. The student’s efforts raised £150.00 which was a great success.
Speaking after the event, Owen Price, Curriculum Manager for Art and Media at Harrow College said “Today’s event has been a great platform for our students to showcase their work. We regularly work with local businesses to give our students as many opportunities as possible to gain experience and to network with new people away from the college environment to support their career development”.
