10 outrageous clothing items
One of our hunters in action!
Last week was Fashion week at Ability Melbourne. Students from all levels discussed everything from Fads and Faux Pas to prints and fabrics. What better way to end the week then a good old SHOP!! So we decided to organise a scavenger hunt! Students were put into teams of different levels. Their challenge: To find 10 outrageous clothing items on a shopping list, try them on and be photographed for evidence. This would give the students the opportunity to practice the vocabulary they had learnt during the week.
The modern gods of fashion
Off we went to Smith Street in Fitzroy, the second hand clothing hub of Melbourne. If you want outrageous, you’ll find it there! The students set off in their groups accompanied by a teacher. After rummaging through racks, tossing clothes about, changing outfits and laughing our heads off we emerged from the changing rooms as modern gods of fashion. People posed, cameras flashed and there was an air of triumph and satisfaction over breaking the personal boundaries of fashion.
Oops ?
As our time came to and end we carried our weary shopping bodies to a local café and settled into some comfy chairs to share our photos and experience. The scavenger hunt was a success and we had a lot of fun. The best team received prizes from our bag of op shop must haves!
That’s all from me…for now!!,
