Fashion students revamp for Hospice

Second-year students from Wintec’s Fashion Design and Practice programme took part in Hospice Waikato‘s inaugural high tea and fashion show earlier this month, restyling vintage garments from Hospice stores into innovative new designs.

Each student chose up to $50 worth of garments to use in their designs, which were available to buy in the Hamilton Hospice shop on Victoria St after the show.

The event, called ‘A Touch of Class from the Past’, was a great success overall, raising over $10,000 for the new Gallagher Family Hospice in Hillcrest.
