Students Hold Fashion Show at Princes Mead Shopping Centre
Students from our Fashion Diploma held a Fashion Show at the Princes Mead Shopping Centre in Farnborough this June.
The show attracted an audience of over 250 to the catwalk event at the central Farnborough shopping centre. There were 24 students exhibiting over a hundred garments which were modelled by nearly 70 models.
The models were friends and students from other courses and other colleges, who spent the day preparing at college and then rehearsing from 6pm once the venue had closed to customers, with the catwalk show starting at 7.30pm. The models catwalked down the steps into the food hall space, up the ramp and around the upper level ending up by Game.
The show was attended by top designers: Omar Mansoor, Louise Butland from Lousise Rose Couture and Natalie Gladman from Madiline Isaac James who chose students to be awarded prizes. The Best in Show Award went to Megan Park, age 18 of Farnborough. Best Styled Outfit went to Alice Klein, aged 17 of Basingstoke. Josie Puckett won Best 2nd Year Student and Best 1st Year went to Amber Hart.
All of the students have been offered places on degree courses in fashion, 
The show was recorded and relayed live to big screens around the venue by Media students, whilst Photography students photographed the designers wonderful creations. Hair and beauty staff and students helped prepare the models.
