From transforming rags to counting Quakers

Transforming rags for the runway

A dress made entirely from ties and another from rejected shirts were among the seventy outfits shown at one of the first ‘Rags to Runway’ fashion shows on 20 June.

Students from Leighton Park School, founded on Quaker values in 1890, and ‘Oxfam Reworked’ volunteers transformed items that had been donated to Oxfam but had not sold.
