Huntercombe Hall in Henley-on-Thames hosted a catwalk event where residents and staff modelled outfits reflecting their cultures.

Huntercombe Hall in Henley-on-Thames, a converted Victorian manor house providing residential and dementia care, hosted a 'colour and culture' fashion show inspired by London Fashion Week. Residents and staff modelled outfits that reflected their cultures in the event, which included music, refreshments, and a red carpet, with Madonna's 'Vogue' as the soundtrack.

Margaret Soal, a 91-year-old resident, was named Best Model for her appearance in a red flower dress from the 1960s. Other awards included Best Catwalk and Audience Favourite. Ms Soal said: "I absolutely loved the fashion show, my favourite parts were doing the catwalk and enjoying a glass of Prosecco with all other residents."

Catia Pereira, home manager at Huntercombe Hall, said the team were "looking for new and exciting ways to encourage residents to try new things and rekindle with past interests". She added that fashion was a popular topic at the home and that everyone had "a wonderful day". The home said it is already planning its next event.
