Design duo get creative for calendar

NEWTON Mearns teens Hollybeth Gourlay and Heather Currie are on the road to design stardom, thanks to some creative dresses made from the pages of glossy magazines.

The 17-year-olds were chosen to create a collection for a WeightWatchers fashion show and calendar, in aid of Diabetes UK.

The duo worked for 90 hours on their 50s inspired pieces — using 250 WeightWatchers magazines and 12,000 staples.

Hollybeth,S6 at Hutchesons’ grammar school, told The Extra: “The project was very worthwhile and we both learned a lot from it.

“We really appreciated everyone’s support, and are completely thrilled to have gained valuable experience while having a great time.”

The calendar is available by mail order for £9 (including P&P) from 245 6380 or [email protected].
