German Swiss International School's (GSIS) fashion show Verve took place last month. Our junior reporter Kate Ng was there to cover the event for Young Post.
Verve is an annual charity fashion show organised by GSIS. This year's show, held on March 30, raised more than HK$200,000. The proceeds went to St James' Settlement, Orbis, Somaly Mam Foundation, and Bridge to China Charitable Foundation.
Organisers started their preparations last October and held auditions and rehearsals. Their aim was to make community service fun.
The word 'verve' was chosen for the school's first charity fashion show in 2010 as it evokes a sense of excitement, vitality and energy.
For the fashion show, three teams - each comprising two students - and another four individual students worked as designers.
Gladys Leung, a student from Marymount Secondary School, was a member of a design team. She said the show had given her a chance to explore the world of fashion and make new friends.
