Our brand: FLC

Vintage style shift dress

Made out of magazine pager and tin foil

           It all started with a technology lesson. Due to my fear of loud, scary cutting machines, I had never excelled in tech before. But that all changed when our teacher gave us our latest assignment: creating products out of recycled materials and giving a presentation to emphasise ethical issues and advertise our product. What did me and my 2 best friends think? FASHION!!!

made out of primark bags!

The dress is wearable!

           We decided to create a fashion brand called FLC: Fashion Loving Care. We made several fabulous dresses, some from old curtains/saris and our spectacular final piece from magazines pager and tinfoil! We had loads of fun making dresses, and my friend put together a spectacular presentation. We won a prize, obviously...

We learnt a lot about teamwork, ethical issues (which we are all very passionate about) and obviously sewing and designing. Sewing isn't uncool, its a way of creating beautiful, unique clothes: there's nothing cooler. We would never have thought we could achieve so much in one school term, it just shows what you can do when you put your mind to it!
