Fashion disaster is great for charity

FASHION students in Galashiels had their designs on raising money to help change the lives of some of the poorest people on the planet.
Steph Booth, the newly-appointed Sports Officer at the Heriot-Watt University in Galashiels, organised the Bad Fashion Mile in aid of Sport Relief on Wednesday.
A squad of students donated a pound each to take part in sun-kissed strut around the campus at Netherdale in their glad rags and glitter. It was one of a series of fundraisers taking place across the Borders.
Steph said the fashion disaster was so bad it was good. She said: "The students have all got a lot of deadlines coming up so we just wanted to organise something simple.
"Some people dress as wild as this on a daily basis so some might not say it's bad fashion." But she added: "It's all for a good cause."
The students raised £130 during the 45 minute walk.
