Students celebrate a decade of Archie with Wonderland extravaganza

In celebration of ARCHIE's 10th birthday, Robert Gordon University Fashion Management students have organised a Wonderland extravaganza at The Bon Accord Centre, Aberdeen on Saturday 7 May, 10am-5pm.

The extravaganza will raise funds and awareness of a student fashion show which will take place on the university's Garthdee campus on Friday 27 May.

At Saturday's extravaganza, a stall will be placed in the Centre where raffle tickets and fashion show tickets will be available to purchase, plus birthday card signing will take place.  Children from The Taylor School of dance will also be performing a routine at 1pm and MC, Bryce Hope, will be attending dressed in Wonderland theme with a specially made birthday card for ARCHIE, created by the students print team.

The daytime event is considered to be an opportunity for the public to get involved in raising money in aid of the charity dedicated to helping children and will provide a slight taster of what is to come in the students' creative and innovative interpretation of Wonderland.

The Wonderland Fashion Show will take place at the Aberdeen Business School, Garthdee, on Friday 27 May with doors opening at 7pm.  Wonderland will take the audience on an adventure featuring six magical fashion affairs, including, Tea Party, Circus and Queen of Hearts, with the show being sponsored by The Bon Accord & St Nicholas Centres.

Attendees will take a walk in the shoes of Alice and experience Wonderland featuring the latest collections available to purchase at The Bon Accord & St Nicholas Centres with supporting acts, including a live performance from Scottish band Kate and the Redundants.

All of this will be enjoyed whilst sipping on bubbly with canapés galore with a wide range of stalls being available on the night offering everything from crafted jewellery and a raffle ticket stall offering guests the chance to win some amazing prizes!  Tickets for the show cost £15 and can be purchased by
