School kids across the country are being called upon to enter the Trash Queen Fashion show at this year’s HIFA.
Building on the success of the very popular recycled fashion show at the festival last year, the Lynde Francis Trust headed by Ondine Francis is currently going into schools and juvenile remand centres to inspire young people between the ages of five and seventeen to become the designers of tomorrow.
There are all sorts of creative masterpieces to be made from the likes of crisp packets, mahewu bottles, sunlight soap bags and cat food packaging. “Harare stands to be amazed by what our children can think of from the contents of their bin bags,” says Francis.
Since Trash Queen 2013, LFT has taken some of the recycled fashion to the catwalks of France. This year’s Trash Queen sees the introduction of outfits that were designed with the help of LFT, by school children and teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds from across Zimbabwe and as far afield as France. The aim is to spread the current passion for up-cycled fashion. These outfits, plus new ones from the small support groups, will start their world tour at HIFA and then move onto fashion shows already organised through Europe.

pwmI agree with Massimo, the easiest way to deal with this imho is to move everything into a writable subdir, then chmod a-w the root dir. (can be a bit of a pain in the ass for loads of virtual users, but works)
That’s 2 clever by half and 2×2 clever 4 me. Thanks!
dit :J’ajoute que les villes vont faire ce que leurs citoyens leur demande. Le problème a Quebec, c’est qu’on a un maire qui parle beaucoup des NTI mais que la Ville continue de ronronner. Elle va le faire tant que nous ne serons pas assez nombreux a faire du bruit pour la réveiller.
Gregggggggggg revealing a lack of attention-paying:“But why were the Seahawks throwing deep in the fourth quarter, leading 51-0? Carroll was a sore winner, and that sort of thing comes back to haunt you.”Um, what Pete Carroll have you been watching? The man has never seen a score high enough or a lead big enough to stop running it up. And it never comes back to haunt him, because he is Homer Simpson and the rest of us are Frank Grimes.
