The Proposal

The Proposal

On Tuesday of this week (March 20th) both Fashion Merchandising classes joined together to put together a proposal for out Head of School - and sponsor - Robin McGee, as well as our Head of Department John Heuston and Jacquie Shaw.
We elected four of our best girls; Paula, Sabrina, Louise and Patricia to present the proposal, whilst having another eight be our lovely models in Vintage day and evening wear to illustrate our vision for the fashion show.

To get the girls ready for the presentation a lot of hard work went was spent by our hair and make-up team (Kevin, Christina & Holly) and didn't they do a wonderful job?

In addition to being given clothes to use for both the presentation and the fashion show by Amanda at Bowjangles Boutique (who is a star by the way!), our girls brought in various shoes, accessories and jewellery to complete the looks.

Finally it was time for the moment we had all been waiting for; The Proposal. The girls did great in presenting our ideas and visions for the Fashion Show and our Heads of School/Departments were thrilled when the models came strutting into the room unannounced.

Overall, it was a great presentation and we couldn't have asked for more from our girls involved - Well done everybody! If this is anything to judge the Fashion Show by in May, then we cannot wait!

The girls take a group photo with our Head of  School Robin McGee - Say Cheese!

Fund raising

COGC Fundraising Events

Here at COGC we've been organising various fund raising events in a bid to raise money for our annual, end of year fashion show; these events include bake sales, speed dating and even a bring and buy sale (Date TBC) for unwanted clothes and Christmas gifts that we didn't particularly want or need!

A few weeks ago for Valentines day, we held a speed dating event to raise money;

Joan & Maja (two of our best lecturers) and Emma help to make and hang heart shaped decorations to create an atmosphere; "That's amore!"

"Happy Valentines Day!" - "In there like swimwear"

As part of our fund raising efforts, we have previously held bake sales in and around the COGC campus', with another being held today; March 13th 12noon in the Allen Glen and North Hanover campus'.

Here are some photos from our Christmas bake sale;

Becca & Robyn in Charles Oakly; Santas little helpers - Look how yummy those cakes look!

Both events proved a great success with over £200 being raised collectively - Make sure you attend our upcoming events - including todays bake sale (March 13th) - which will be posted on our Facebook & Twitter pages soon!
