High fashion

Vice-chancellor Deborah Prentice was recently spotted donning a blazer decorated with what appeared to be golden cannabis leaves. The “(t)weed” jacket quickly caught the attention of Camfess fashonistas, who found it retailing for £236 from boutique blazer designers Smythe. The VC donned the statement item during a recorded video for a student cyber-awareness course. Some have speculated that Prentice was paying homage to her previous place of employment, Princeton, New Jersey, where recreational marijuana is legal.

A pottery goat made by former Varsity writer and Trinity Alumnus, King Charles III, has been put up for auction. The red-and-yellow striped critter was created over 50 years ago, while the King was undertaking a History degree at Trinity College.
