The artwork by UCM students will be displayed in the Hospice Strand St shop over the next few months.

Hospice Isle of Man has teamed up with University College Isle of Man to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable clothing.

They're giving up their window space to Art and Design students over the next few months to showcase their creations, and the first is by Ashley Christian.

She's made a dress from second-hand clothing from Hospice with the aim of turning preloved clothing into something new, and her design was inspired by buildings and architecture.

The work can be seen in Hospice Isle of Man's window in Strand Street, Douglas.
