I’d
like to personally invite you, on behalf of The Creative Clan, to attend RGU’s
1st year Fashion Management, Events Management and PR students’ Charity Fashion Exhibition
Launch Night. The aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness for the selected
charities as well as proving fashionable clothes shopping can be successfully
done at charity shops.
Each
group mixed of Fashion Management, Events Management and PR students will have
a mannequin featuring their chosen garments – all bought for under £10. In
addition, each group will be raising awareness of a different charity. The
theme for the exhibition (despite charity fashion) is Northern Culture and the
teams will happily explain how they interpreted their theme into the outfit on
the night – all bought for £10 or less.
My
team, named The Creative Clan, decided on the theme of tartan – perhaps slightly
stereotypical when considering Northern Culture – however we are using the
deeper link of relating Scottish clan tartans to our charity which is called
CLAN. CLAN is a cancer support charity "for anyone of any age, affected by any type of cancer". The charity has a big focus on family and local communities, with several support centres in the north of Scotland. See full list here.
For
our photoshoot (as pictured), the group chose to take a day trip to Stonehaven
and in particular Dunnottar Castle for a truly Scottish vibe. Someone commented
it would be fit for a Scott's Porage Oats advert – I’ll take that as a compliment.
Our chosen garment is actually a massive picnic rug or blanket. But for just
£3.50 from a CLAN shop in Aberdeen, we transformed it into a very on trend cape
with a pretty brooch (courtesy of a team member) to hold the shape.
Our
stand will also offer free homemade shortbread (if it’s bad you can blame me
for that) as well as the chance to be featured on our Instagram via a 3D tartan
frame, helping to show your support for charity fashion and CLAN itself. Just
search @thecreativeclan_ on Instagram and hit that follow button for some behind
the scenes sneak peeks. We’d be more than happy to explain a little more and
show you our moodboards (created by moi) on our display board at the
exhibition.
There
will of course be all the other charities and themes on display (with more
snacks I’m sure) and I know everyone would love to see you there on the
night. It would mean so much and if you see me there, feel free to say hello!
