St Nicholas Cathedral Flower Festival Competition

As part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, St. Nicholas Cathedral invited all students across Newcastle to enter an exciting and innovative fashion competition titled “Rationing to Recession”. Our students were set the task to purchase an outfit from a charity shop, jumble sale or similar and the outfit had to be altered and accessorised as creatively as they liked. Students outfits would be entered under one of four categories; Vintage (representing one of the decades of the Queen’s reign), Everyday, Evening Wear and Bridal.

Our entire GCSE student’s entered into the competition with seven of seventeen students making it through to the final fashion show held in the beautiful Cathedral as part of the Flower Festival. Alisha Tannahill one of our very creative and innovative GCSE students who entered won her category section of “Vintage”, creating an embellished bodice top with layered skirt. Not only did Alisha win her category she also won the overall competition, winning £50 cash and a specially sculptured ornament pictured right.
