Raw Talent

At my high school we have three different courses to choose from. Classes 1-6 follow the “normal course” covering the basics and a wide range of other subjects. Class 7 is the international course, class 8 is art and class 9 is design.

I found out that the students from class 9 were putting on a fashion show this weekend and I jumped at the chance to see what they’ve been making.

I was amazed at the talent of these kids. Not only did they design and make all of the items on display; but they also produced their own show and modeled their own clothes. The show was unbelievable and the kids were excited to see me in the audience.

Students demonstrated how to put on a traditional kimono

My favourite first year girls show off their aprons

This is what they can do with one piece of material and a lot of pins

I walk past this every day at school – I love it
