Verve - Vibrant, Eclectic, Radiant, Vivid, Edgy

The Grade 10 and 11 learners had the opportunity to bask in the limelight, with their peers modelling their creative designs under the theme of "Wearable art". The Grade 10 and 11 Design students were tasked with creating anything from a single outfit to a full collection, keeping the theme in mind. At least 60% of each outfit had to be made from reused items or found objects or fabrics. 
To involve the whole school, the Grade 8 and 9 learners were each challenged to design an accessory for Creative Arts, and they also had their designs showcased on the catwalk. 
"Sustainability is at the heart of these designs, aiming to make our students aware of the waste crisis and to encourage them to be part of the change. Each student had to design a high-concept work, first conceptualising and designing it in 2D before creating the 3D outfit," said Dean Hall of Verve College.
 The catwalk, that stretched around the school parking area, under starlight and spotlights, lent a vibrant atmosphere that echoed the sentiment of the entire evening - shining bright, living up to your potential and spreading joy.
The excited, young designers had the opportunity to record voice-overs that were played to introduce their work, and they also selected models and music to further enhance their creative work as it was being displayed on the catwalk. The excited smiles and proud faces of the learners were testament to Verve College's commitment to embrace their learners' design capabilities and creative instincts. 
The designers and models of the show were supported by Verve College dancers and MCs, and it was difficult to tell who was more excited - the participants or the audience. 
"Creativity is as important as literacy, and at Verve College, we treat it as such," concluded Hall.
