Fifty Shades of Cambridge: University students take to the catwalk in bondage gear at controversial fashion show

Dressed in revealing bondage gear, heart-shaped nipple tassles and see-through jump suits, these were some of the outlandish outfits worn by Cambridge University students as they took to the catwalk to strut their stuff for a risque fashion show.

Acres of naked flesh was on display as 20 male and female students, all aged between 18 and 25, had little to cover their modesty while parading in front of around 1,000 people last night.

Pippa Bull, 20, who studies History of Art at Gonville and Caius College, was one of the many girls who posed topless. She wore sparkly pink nipple tassles under a blue jacket and tight black snakeskin trousers for a show aimed at 'celebrating the diversity of fashion'.

She later modelled a red bondage-inspired outfit, with giant tassled-shoulder pads and skimpy plaited pants.

Xelia Mendes-Jones, 19, from St Catharine's College studying Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic, wore an elegant long black dress, which had no back - revealing her mesh tights and pink pants when she turned around.

She also wore a mesh jumpsuit, which showed off her assets, as she sashayed in front of the audience at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

The male students, including 19-year-old Joonas Kalda, who studies maths at Peterhouse, also stripped down to their underwear, accessorising with shades and body paint. He was chosen from among 200 students who auditioned to take part.

The outfits featured designs by brands such as Burnt Soul and our Legacy, as well as pieces designed by students. The event raised money for the charity Cambridge House, which tackles social injustice in South London.
