Scots fashion designers will transform piles of second-hand clothes into catwalk collections as part of a campaign against waste.

After fending off tough competition, designer Aimee Kent and Black Cherry Studios were picked for the challenge by Zero Waste Scotland and the Salvation Army Trading Company.

The initiative, part of the Love Your Clothes campaign, will see designers embark on a 12-week project to create two new couture collections from 150 kilos of unwanted garments they have been handed into charity shops or dropped off in donation bins.
