RECYCLED fashion, “radioactive” neon colours and chic poses on the catwalk – welcome to the post-apocalyptic world. Year nine students at Matthew Arnold School in Arnolds Way, Cumnor Hill, staged a fashion show yesterday set after the end of the world.
They started the day by watching a clip from Hollywood disaster epic 2012. They were then told how, after the apocalypse, one group had fled underground and developed their own sense of style, only to re-emerge and discover the radiation-contaminated surface dwellers wearing neon colours.
The students then split into groups, and completely from scrap made their costumes for underground and overground living and designed and built a set for the show to take place on.
Jelani Williams Daniels, 13, pictured, from Oxford, wore a combination of subterranean and radioactive fashion to symbolise the fusion of the two worlds. He said: “I really enjoyed the day. I loved being the main person on stage.”
The whole year group took part in the enrichment day.
