Toni Pickles firmly
believes in supporting local charities as well as education, so it’s no
surprise that for the third year running, Get Waisted helped the girls of Fenwick House, one of the houses at leading independent school, Brighton College , put on a fashion show (www.brightoncollege.org.uk).
Last year the theme was ‘James Bond’, the year before ‘Moulin
Rouge’ – so there’s never a shortage of glamour. This year the theme was 1940’s
and ‘50’s ‘Hollywood Glamour’ so of course it was just the ticket for Get
Waisted.
After music and dance from some extremely talented
students, brave members of staff strutted their stuff in front of the student
body wearing pieces from a number of local shops including Passport, Lucia’s
Workshop and Foxed Up Vintage, for the ‘Teachers Runway’.
This was followed by collections from Get Waisted, Dig
for Victory and Pretty Eccentric, varying from fun outfits through to vintage-inspired
day and cocktail dresses, and evening glamour.
With financial contributions from a raffle as well
ticket sales for the event, catering and a fun photo booth with accessories for
a record of the event from Emmest Photography (www.emmestphotography.co.uk/), the
final amount raised for Chestnut Tree House is still being calculated - but
with around 200 people there on the night (a full house), the evening was a
great success and much enjoyed by everyone.
