The annual extravaganza staged at The King’s Academy, in Coulby Newham, raised more than £1,200 for charity and gave design students the chance to display their work. The two-hour show featured the latest prom fashions for men and women supplied by local retailers including Destiny, Skopes and Quiz, in Middlesbrough, Joanne Kay, of Stokesley, and Euphoria, of Yarm. GCSE design technology students exhibited their eco-wears and A Level fashion students showed off their creations, the culmination of months of hard work. Event host assistant vice principal Carey Brownless also introduced students modelling hand-painted hessian and canvas bags created by King’s Pins, the academy’s own design house.
