Trendsetters of the future?

Creations showcased at Springwood High's fashion show

The event is "A highlight of the school year and is looked forward to by everyone," says Emma Markwell, Fashion and Textile Course Leader at Springwood in King's Lynn.  “Some of the collections were pushing the boundaries with many stunning, eye-catching creations.”

Pupils say artist Vincent Van Gogh and punk icon Vivienne Westwood were among the inspirations at the sell-out event, which is in its eleventh year.

“It encourages the students’ confidence, creativity, and self-belief, and provides work experience in a variety of roles in the production of the show," adds Miss Markwell.

There was also a Staff Collection on the theme of ‘Glamour’.

Miss Markwell says, “This year, the collections had the wow factor. I am so proud of all my participants, and especially the designers. I feel like a fairy godmother at times, when seeing the students’ transformation and growth."
