Under the expert guidance of British Sewing Bee finalist, Angeline Murphy, they not only embraced the importance of eco-friendly fashion but have also learned the art of creating distinctive clothing pieces. During this programme, the young people learned all about recycling clothing, embellishment on second hand clothing and the importance of saving the environment through fashion choices.

The result of these workshops is a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces from the girls that not only reflect their newfound understanding of eco-conscious fashion but also showcase their creativity and individuality. This is reflected in the photographic exhibition of their beautiful pieces.
