A group of fashion students at Coleg Gwent’s Crosskeys campus will see their designs take to the catwalk tonight.
The group of students, called Et Viola, will put on their ‘RockRave’ show at 7pm.
Models will parade the catwalk wearing six of the students’ designs made from recycled materials.
As well as promoting, dressing and styling the models, the students will be fundraising by selling their own handmade bracelets. The event has been organised by Urban Circle, who promote and sustain constructive community relationships for young people living in Newport.
Lecturer Sam Reeve said: “This is a great opportunity for fashion students to gain valuable hands-on experience of work and the demands of fashion events. It enables the students to participate in modelling, styling, promotion, dressing, photography shoots and designing.
“It’s a real live work experience which is proving invaluable for job finding, university personal statements, CVs and promoting their own creative talents.”
