For the past 25 years, NLCS has been showcasing the talent and creativity of our students in an evening of fashion all to raise money for the Karenni Student Development Programme.
This year’s theme, “Myths and Legends”, provided the audience with some breath-taking designs including pieces inspired by Pericles and Medusa to name but a few!
We were delighted to welcome 3 fantastic judges this year, Fashion Designers, Helen Hutton, Louise Bennetts and Stella McCartney who had the rather tricky task of picking the winning designs from such a variety of dresses. After much deliberation prizes were awarded for best Middle School dress, best Senior School dress, runners up prizes and the best eco dress.
Whilst the judges deliberated there were chances to bid on some excellent prizes in the auction. Prizes included Stella McCartney trainers and bags, a walk with Mrs Clark and her dog Penda, a form breakfast and even a commissioned art piece by one of our Sixth Form Art Students. A special thank you to Miss Aldcroft who took the role of the auctioneer and did a fantastic job!
All the money raised will go to the Karenni Student Development Programme, a charity set up by ONL Stephanie Lee in 1999, after Stephanie was tragically killed in 2001 her parents Beryl and Steve took over the charity in Stephanie’s honour funding many projects for Karenni/Burmese refugees. To date, NLCS has raised over £152,000 for KSDP.
Congratulations to all the students who took part in this year’s event it was wonderful to hold to this evening in person again whilst raising money for such a worthy cause!
