The Wearable Arts Designs resembled those seen at the national competition level, as models showcased handcrafted capes, umbrellas, dresses and even shoes to a very impressed audience. From rose-adorned coats to hand-painted students, the theme of "Once Upon A Time" had clearly been a focus for each designer.

The Strathallan Drama Club kept the audience entertained throughout the breaks with "The Fairy Trial", while Canadian comedian Desiree McKenzie kept them laughing with tales of her experiences as an exchange student in New Zealand.

At the end of the night, after the judges had returned from their deliberation, the winners were to be announced. The winners of the night were:

The Wearable Arts committee promised the event would be a fantastic night, and they definitely delivered on this promise. Congratulations to all involved, and best of luck to next year's committee for topping this year's Awards.
