Recycled Runway

Over the weekend of the 9th and 10th of August, two teams of students designed and created amazing outfits. These talented and resourceful rangatahi transformed pre-loved garments, accessories and fabric into haute couture.
 
Every item of fabric has a ‘backstory’ and now these garments have a forward story.
 
Thank you to Waiōrea Community Recycling Centre for their donations of clothing and one of our judges, Christine Wang. Thank you also to Whaea Bella Pomare and Cade Robbins for providing their expertise as judges.
 
And last but not definitely not least – Thank-you you to Year 13 student Kway Hardy, for taking an idea and turning it into an amazing event – the debut Recycled Runway!
