The 100 show

Ethical fashion show celebrates centenary year for Selly Park Technology College for
Girls with local MP in attendance.

Pupils from Selly Park Technology College for Girls will celebrate their centenary year with the ‘100 Show’, an ethical fashion show. The show contains three amazing collections, including hat sculptures and clothes that have been radically transformed.  The event, which has sold out, will take place at mac birmingham on 24th June 2011 – 4pm and 7pm. Steve McCabe, MP for Birmingham Selly Oak will also be in attendance

The project has been funded through the Creative Partnerships school programme, delivered by Bright Space.  The students organised the whole event from designing the clothes, logos, slogans and marketing to auditioning models. They also used their negotiating skills to hire MAC birmingham at a reduced rate. MAC birmingham also enabled Selly Park students to shadow their staff members.

All the clothes have been made from recycled fabric, thrown away garments or other unwanted materials, even plastic bags.  The students from years 7 – 11, worked with local Fashion Designer, Allison Sadler, owner of ‘People’ boutique in King’s Heath, to create a fusion of glamour, spectacle and innovation.

Sarah Hubbard, Deputy Head Teacher at Selly Park Technology College said: ‘This has been an exciting project for our students.  As well as designing for the show, they have now gained experience on event management and promotion.  The fact that the show has sold out, is testament to their hard work and enthusiasm.’
