Alternative Fashion Week ~ Katie Hebditch & Hayley Kiley

"Sonic Wasteland" - Inspired by contemporary underground music, fusing sports and street fashion, with an eclectic array of geometric patterns and colours. My favourite aspect of this collection is the oversized zips designed into the men's tracksuit.

SJB fashion show

Whilst at home in Woking, I yesterday attended a fashion show at my former secondary school. The show - in which my sister was modelling (third photo) - was organised by two sixth form students, Letizia and Georgia, whose aim was to raise money for their trips to Malawi and Lourdes. Of course, the catwalk wasn't on the same scale of prestige as Prada, or as crazy as Kokon To Zai, but it was nonetheless entertaining and evident of hard work.

The catwalk featured colour, vintage, and grunge rock fashions, styled with clothes and accessories from vintage fairs, charity shops and student donations. Much to the glee of the audience, there was also a special appearance from the teachers dressed in onesies. Clothes and jewellery seen in the show were then later sold to raise even more money.
