Passion 4 Fashion| will see local housing providers and Leeds City Council getting together to create a one-off fashion show that promises to be the social event of the year!
Involvement in the project is open to anyone between 17 and 30 with an interest in fashion. If you are chosen, you will attend a series of workshops in Leeds in March 2011, working with cutting-edge local designers to design and create your own catwalk outfit.
Once you’ve come up with your unique design, you’ll be given a budget of £25 to go and dig out those charity shop gems that can be dyed, sprayed, sewed and customised into an individual piece of brilliance! There are no limits on the outfits – the wilder the better! Our team of designers will be there to provide expert tuition throughout the workshops, helping you to learn new skills.
We’re hoping that discovering these new skills could lead to training or employment options for our lucky participants, and there will be professionals in attendance throughout the project if you wish to seek out their advice.
Passion 4 Fashion will culminate in a fantastic fashion show opened by the Lord Mayor at Leeds Town Hall on 21st April 2011. You will get to model your creation in front of an audience filled with family and friends, and maybe even the odd celebrity! Entertainment will also be provided on the night by various community and youth groups from across the city.
You can follow our blog| and Twitter| – please have a look!
If you are interested in taking part in this event or want more information, please call Lisa Longbottom 0113 235 0202 before 4th March 2011 – there are limited spaces so act fast!
