What happens when a Newcastle College fashion student, a Damehood ceremony and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity come together? đź’™
For Lamin Gibba, our very own Master’s student, it meant designing a bespoke outfit for Dame Chi Onwurah’s investiture and seeing his work worn at the Royal ceremony yesterday!
These moments capture Lamin and our amazing Art and Design Resource Coordinator Lynne Purvis, as they designed and constructed the one-of-a-kind design with Chi, to celebrate her Geordie, Irish and Nigerian heritage.
A moment none of us will forget and a proud day for the North East 👏 Chi Onwurah
