This show was put together with purpose and an eye on the outcomes. A selected group of students were given the opportunity work outside curriculum hours to design, create outfits for a fashion show. The students were picked specifically as they had all showed signs of low confidence and the school was after a boost to rectify this potential issue. Working through the project the girls not only had the chance to design clothes but also learn key life skills in regards to design, pattern making, purchase of material, presentation, make up and performance skills, all from one project.
So what did we see?
We were treated to a display of around 30 designs of the "little black dress" all were unique and well designed and made, this was followed by a selection of others.
We could see clearly that these girls were proud of what they had achieved and were happy to walk up and down a catwalk displaying their work. It was certainly hard to believe there was a lack of confidence in any of the girls in the show.
All those involved did a fantastic job and it was a privilege to have been able to join parents in watching what their girls had made and achieved, and that sense of achievment came over from all involved. It was a great example the use of a little inovation in tackling potential challenges before they manifest themselves.
