A charity fashion show in Winchester will highlight the value of second-hand clothing.
The Charity Shop Chic Fashion Show, part of Winchester's Green Week, will see seven University of Winchester students from the fashion business and marketing course gain practical experience.
Organiser Sarah Sullivan of Style Solutions by Sarah, hopes the event on Thursday, September 26 at the Brooks Centre will encourage people to shop second-hand and recycle.

Marina Brkljac, programme leader and lecturer in fashion business and marketing, said: "We are thrilled to have our students participating in Sarah’s event. This is an invaluable opportunity for them to gain real-world industry experience, engage with the critical topic of sustainability, and support local charities."
Ms Sullivan added: "I am thrilled to have the help and support of the fashion business and marketing students again this year who are invaluable behind the scenes.
"This event is a fantastic opportunity for the community of Winchester to come together for some good causes and have fun."
