Audience Catwalk Cornish Eighties Elderly Institute Modelling

EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful scene from the 1980s: Children's Fashion Show at a Local Women's Institute in Cornwall. The photograph captures the excitement and joy as young and old come together for this unique event. The children, dressed in an assortment of vibrant costumes and fashionable outfits, eagerly await their turn on the makeshift catwalk. Their expressions of anticipation and nervousness are a testament to the special moment they are about to experience. Seated in the audience, a group of women from the Women's Institute watch proudly, their faces filled with admiration and appreciation for the young models. The elderly members of the community, dressed in their Sunday best, are also present, adding a sense of tradition and continuity to the event. The Children's Fashion Show was a beloved annual tradition in this Cornish community, providing an opportunity for the children to showcase their creativity and confidence. The event brought generations together, fostering a sense of unity and community spirit. The 1980s fashion trends are on full display, from the bold prints and bright colors to the puffed sleeves and high-waisted pants. This photograph is a charming reminder of a simpler time, when community events brought people together to celebrate the joy of fashion and the innocence of childhood.
