Fashion show focuses on child patients' needs

Some children cannot buy clothes from the high street

A special fashion show has been kitting out children in bespoke outfits to cater for their complex mobility needs.

South & City College Birmingham said it had teamed up with patients from Birmingham Children’s Hospital to unleash their inner supermodels.

The annual adaptive clothing fashion show caters for children who cannot buy clothes from the high street.

"I've really enjoyed this event," said patient Prabhjot.

"I think it's an amazing opportunity for individuals like me to get a chance to have clothes that fit properly and look nice."

Surbjit Singh, head of school for art, design and fashion, said the mesmerising show was a memory for all to treasure.

"Every garment tells a story and every strut celebrates the journey of our amazing models," he said.

Alongside the fashion team at the college, the show was supported on the night by additional college departments including hair and beauty students.

Patients and staff were able to craft their own looks and experience the life of a model strutting the catwalk, the school said.
