According to the British "Mirror" reported on November 29, a 23-year-old university student at the University of Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom attended the graduation ceremony because he could not afford to rent a graduation dress for 246 pounds (about 2,000 yuan) and wore a special dress made of black garbage bags.

Will Redford, who earned a degree in photography, wore a black dress made of garbage bags when he attended his graduation ceremony on the 24th, saying that his dress was a "gesture" because he had paid enough for the course.

Will explained that he completed the course a year ago but the graduation ceremony was postponed due to the pandemic. He went on to say: "For a year after graduating from college, I basically didn't have a job. I just moved to a new place and only have £100 left on hand. I really can't afford it, and that's no exaggeration. ”

In his speech, the English painter Peter Edwards praised Will Redford's attire. He said: "Hello everyone, I'm not ready yet, but first of all, I want to say to the guy in the garbage bag, well done, I think it's fantastic. ”
