Threads, Style Young is a project in collaboration with Threads, the Peabody Trust, Children in Need, Discover Young Hackney Project and LCF’s Widening Participation Department.
This project aims to engage with 14-16 year old girls in skills and training towards making a fashion product.
This project delivered skills in research, pattern-cutting and design, working with design and academic professionals helped the young women to realise their product and contribute to an exhibition in the local Hackney community.
In December 2014, Diane Abbott, MP visited the launch of the Style Young exhibition, the end product of a collaborative project between LCF, Threads Youth Project and three Hackney Schools, to present awards to the young girls involved to celebrate their hard work.
