A fashion show, created by students from Gray鈥檚 School of Art in collaboration with CityMoves Dance Agency, will take centre stage in Aberdeen鈥檚 Anatomy Rooms next week.

This city centre event on Saturday 27 April, will feature two fashion shows, featuring an incredible collection of work from talented Fashion and Textiles students and Graduates in Residence at Gray鈥檚 School of Art.

Organisers hope to attract up to 120 people per show and will showcase a sustainable collection of woman鈥檚 and men鈥檚 ware, designed by students in partnership with Braemar Castle.

Also on show, will be a collection made from dead stock or sample fabrics from Harris Tweed Hebrides, designed by second year students inspired by artefacts found in the National Museum for Scotland. Other second year students will present collections inspired by addiction and escapism.

Other highlights from the fashion show include third year collections influenced by anthropology and different cultures and work that relates to decay, preservation and the different stages of grief.

Organisers, Megan Naysmith and Maya Wilson who are Graduates in Residence at Gray鈥檚 School of Art, said: 鈥渨e are so excited to be hosting Gray鈥檚 Fashion Show in the heart of Aberdeen.
