| Cheers for the catwalk kids
as the market shows off the latest fashions |
EVEN a bevy of supermodels would have been upstaged at Thursday’s
fashion show on the Lock.
When the market held its annual fashion show, which started five
years ago, the biggest cheer of the night went to youngsters from
the Primrose Hill Primary School. Walking onto the catwalk in T-shirts
that reached down to their knees, they were donning the entries
of a nationwide competition for the charity Traidcraft. Mayor of
Camden, Barbara Hughes, was on hand to judge the winner along with
market manager Will Fulford. More than 20 different designers showed
their work, including Fairy Gothmother – who had giant full
skirts and show-stopping feather fans and was the only designer
to use ‘real’ women.
But behind all the fun was a serious message. In an evening aimed
at promoting fair trade and ethical work practice, there was also
another wrong to set to right. Councillor Theo Blackwell, viewing
from the coveted front-row, took up the point: “Camden Town
has this image of goth clothes and naff shirts- this night shows
there is so much more vibrancy and creativity going on.”
