A fashion parade with a difference has raised $2000 for the Cambridge Health Shuttle.
Cheryl Newman told The News the parade – and a high tea – at Cambridge Oaks Lifestyle Village this month featured models ranging in age from “mature” up into their nineties – “and they did a great job of displaying the garments”.
Cheryl lives at Cambridge Oaks where she is social events coordinator.
“The idea of the event arose from a consensus among many residents that in among our social events we should do something really upmarket and classy.
“A high tea and fashion parade on a spring Sunday afternoon fitted the bill perfectly, with over 100 people participating.”
Eight models rotated to display 32 garments – shoes, casual combinations, and elegant formal dresses.
The high tea was served in china tea sets with elegant three-tier towered cake stands – sourced from Waikato op shops.
