Fashion Show

A small but enthusiastic audience, comprising mostly young people, attended the charity fashion show put on recently showcasing the Max Stoanne range. As well as the fashion models, many of whom looked ready to take the modeling world by storm, several local groups entertained the audience, and there were brisk sales on the refreshments.

One of the most popular items on show was a tshirt emblazoned with the slogan “”Mloza”. According to Max, this is the name given to Aberdeen by the local students when they come home. She used a colourful combination of fabric paints to write the slogan on a plain tshirt, which looked very striking. Another attractive dress was made using material that is more usually used for table cloths, with a large bright pattern.

Designer and organizer Max is waiting for finalization of sales of the garments before she can calculate the amount raised by the show. “I really want to help as many underprivileged children as I can by providing stationery packs for them” said Max. “There are still several outfits available, for males as well as females”. Anyone who is interested in seeing the garments and possibly making a purchase should contact Max on 079 950 4161

The enterprising Max has also donated two outfits of their choice to the Grade 11 boy and girl from Aberdeen Secondary school who achieved the best results academically last year. The lucky recipients will be contacted next week, which will give them and Max plenty of time to work on those dream outfits
