Collaboration Catwalk ’22

On Tuesday 1 March, we welcomed an array of salon owners and special guests to our Lifestyle Centre in Barnstaple to witness a spectacular display of talent from our Hair, Beauty and Performing Arts students in the form of the Collaboration Catwalk.

Level 3 apprentices created their work around the theme of Avant Garden ‘Elements’ and NVQ Level 3 part-time students created a theme around Avant Garde ‘Sustainability’ – the audience was astounded at the high level of work produced by our students. 

The show also included outstanding work from our barbering, make up and dance students, whilst catering students provided delicious canapes and beverages. 

The event was a huge success, with close to 3,000 people viewing our Livestream on Facebook!

A total of £490 was also raised for MS Society, the UK’s largest charity for people affected by multiple sclerosis

Our Principal Sean Mackney, said: “What a wonderful evening, it was inspiring to see the work of our amazingly talented students being showcased on the catwalk, congratulations to all the award winners”

Well done to all who took part in the event, especially to Brendan Foreman for organising and making the event a great success on the night.

Brendan said: “I’m so proud of all our students and what they have achieved in our first catwalk show. The support and atmosphere were incredible! The dedication and talent of our students is truly inspiring. Ideas are already flowing for Collaboration Catwalk ‘23. Thank you to all who attended and donated to our chosen charity – MS Society.”
