Sheringham High School students have created clothes from sustainable materials.

The school held three personal development days when students designed outfits using clothes donated by the town's Salvation Army charity shop.

The students showcased their creations in a Vogue-style fashion shoot.

This initiative follows the school's collaboration with the Salvation Army last year, when they hosted a vintage and pre-loved clothes sale.

Rachel Mendes, head of art at Sheringham High School, said: "We had a great three days for the sustainable fashion personal development days.

"We are so very proud of the students as they worked so hard and are delighted to be able to work with our local community on such initiatives especially as the students were able to upcycle and help towards sustainability."

Simon Fenn, community manager at Sheringham Salvation Army, said: "It’s a brilliant idea as it encourages young people to upcycle items and find new life in old belongings."
