Otago Polytechnic fashion design student Alice Baird adjusts one of her creations for a photo shoot in Crawford St, Dunedin, on Thursday, with models (from left) Abby Anderson, Bonnie O'Donoghue and Laura Adams.
Ms Baird said her collection, "Fashion is But the Medium'', was a reference to the idea of being creative but expressing it through fashion.
The materials were expanding foam and glow-in-the-dark rope, which she knitted on dowling rods.
The collection was a practice for the main collection students designed later in the year, and the photo shoot was part of the requirements for the course.
