FASHION students had a taste of life on the catwalk and raised more than £1,000 for charity.

The students from Darlington College of Technology became models for a night at a charity show in aid of the town's St Teresa's Hospice.

The show was organised by Darlington Borough Council's Women into Enterprise business network, and invited designers from the town to show their talents.

The students modelled designer outfits, including accessories from new jewellery line Wearable Art, millinery shop Hats 'n' Stuff, Zintu African Crafts and tiaras from Georgia Brooke Designs.

Fashion designer Kate Fearnley showed her collection, alongside evening gowns by Poppies.

The event, which was held at Sam's Restaurant in Coniscliffe Road, raised £1,078 for the work of the hospice.
