A STUNNING catwalk show was staged by students to raise money for Warrington’s Tim Parry Johnathan Ball Foundation for Peace.
Staff and students at Priestley College joined forces to support the event which showcased outfits designed by students studying textiles and art and design.
The cross section of fashions on display were inspired by a range of themes from natural forms to the urban environment, childhood memories to recycling.
Fellow students studying BTEC business helped organise the event which was six months in the making.
Foundation for Peace campaigners Colin and Wendy Parry attended the event.
A range of local businesses supported the show including MC2 Hair Design, who provided hair and make-up for the models, while a range of others donated gifts to the raffle.
Colin Parry said: “The Foundation for Peace and the college enjoy a really strong relationship.
“Recently the college provided artwork to our Peace Art exhibition, so the fashion show was just the latest example of when we have been able to work together. The flourishing link is very special to us in that one of our main focuses is concerned with engaging with young people.”
