Unplugged and Undressed is a fund-raiser for The British Red cross, featuring students from Oxford and Cherwell Valley College who have been busy shopping in local Red Cross charity shops looking for items with catwalk potential.

Their outfits will be judged by a panel of local fashion experts including top Oxfordshire fashion designer Feng Ho.
