Garments inspired by Aberdeen’s harbour industry were among the most eye-catching attractions at a student fashion show.
Nescol’s first and second year HND Textiles students transformed Aberdeen Maritime Museum into a catwalk, modelling designs of their own creation.
The second years were tasked with researching the traditional clothing worn by fisher women, boat builders and divers, as well as the objects relating to their jobs, to design related pieces.
Curriculum manager Janice Scott said: “Aberdeen Harbour has been the hive of activity for many industries such as boat building, sailing and fishing.
“Fashion needs a strong structure to make it work and the year one students were challenged with applying industry inspiration to reshape shirt panels into new fashion silhouettes and show surface and textural detail.
“Some of these industries are still prominent today, with the addition of it now being the centre for oil and gas industry in western Europe.
“The various structures of these industries seen in the museum have been the inspiration for HND Textiles at North East Scotland College.
“All the students have worked hard and fully engaged in this creative event to show how industrial structures can influence fashion with inspiration from the traditional Aberdeen trades.”
To add an ethical and sustainability spin to their assignment, all the students’ final pieces are made from pre-worn or second-hand shirts and fabrics.
