լе medical students will once again strut their stuff to host a fashion parade to raise money for research projects and programs for at risk populations.

Organised by (TIME), the event on Wednesday, September 28 will feature the talents of local designers, each of whom have developed new collections for the event.

“This year features two outstanding designers, Amiee Kahl and Rhaman Donovan, who showed their work with us last year,” second-year medical student Ashley Jenkin said.

Entitled “What’s your Fantasy?”, the event will be held at the Old Museum in Bowen Hills, with doors opening at 7:30pm.

Established in 2005, TIME is a student organised not-for-profit advocacy and awareness group focused on global health and outreach.

TIME focus their efforts on five major projects: maternal health, Indigenous health, environmental health, refugee health, and the Medical Aid Project (MAP), which sends equipment with first-year medical students to hospitals they visit around the world.

All proceeds from the fashion parade will go to TIME and its projects.

“We want people to have a great time, and in return give us the opportunity to help people, but we can’t do it alone, we need the community to help our goals come true,” Ms Jenkin said.

Tickets for the event can be purchased or at the door.
