Avonside Girls' entrance was filled with applause as students cheered on models and designers from the Design and Technology Department as Year 10 to year 13 students walked the runway wearing clothes from the school’s creative designers. Year 13 students modelled their ethical, sustainable slow fashion garments that they made for their context in 2021. 

Photos below show the following students showcasing their work:

First we have Year 13 students, Maroj Patapat (left) in her jacket and jeans, with Eilyn Parker in a cotton underdress and organza overlay.

Anya and Kassie have both gained entry to Massey University in Wellington where they will continue to study design.

Year 10 students, Nicole Kim (green dress), Kate Harden (purple dress) and Zoe Langley (pink dress) wowed the crowd with their stunning evening dresses that they made this year along with a range of other garments.
