Fashion students get in the driver's seat


A group of Fashion Students from RGU are helping the Grampian Transport Museum celebrate their 30th season with an exhibition of fashion from the 30's to 70's.

Fashion and motoring have gone hand in hand for years with both industries having inspired creations in each other's fields, such as Gucci helping to design the new model of Fiat, and Victoria Beckham's recent collaboration with Range Rover.

The RGU Students visited Alford's Grampian Transport Museum to select three classic motorbikes to help inspire their Aberdeen Business School based exhibition.

The museum, in its 34th year, kindly donated the vehicles from their extensive collection of motoring history to the aspiring fashionistas until April 1st, when the exhibition will return to Alford.

The fourth year students then utilised the vintage vehicle's rich histories to help inspire a range of stylish outfits.

Course Leader Karen Cross said:"The cars and motorbikes are a fascinating starting point for the Fashion Management students and they found their visit to Grampian Transport Museum extremely inspirational.

"Styling projects like this gives them a competitive edge as they head towards graduation in July."
