After six months of hard work and planning, the eagerly anticipated and glamorous Leeds Rag Fashion Show made a momentous return to the Leeds University Union.

The event aims to raise as much money as possible for two local charities: Mencap and The Refugee Council. Last years event raised over £15,000 for local charities.

A 30-person student committee, with two directors and the support of a 60-person production team created a vibrant show with the theme of “Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution” and a cohort of glamourous models paraded edgy and diverse outfits with intervals of entertainment. The clothes were provided by a variety of shops and designers including Blue Rinse, Bolongaro Trevor, Accent Clothing, Lambert’s Yard, Anita Massarella, Daz Rockz and Oh My Love.
