In recent sessions we have started to think about ideas for our End of Year Fashion Show which us students are in charge of organising as part of our final major project.
In this blog post I wanted to talk a little bit about our initial ideas and overall vision for the fashion show 2023...
Over recent weeks, we have been meeting-up as a group in lessons to discuss ideas and make arrangements going forward.
The first, and most important decisions, included where the event would be held, what charity we would support (as it's a fundraising event), what our theme would be, etc.
In terms of location, we wanted the show to be held in Farnborough for ease of transport, etc. for parents; and so we considered a few different places such as Vue Cinema, the Audi Garage, the Aviaror, and Pinehurst Car Park, where we shot our Pattern Crazy Video. We did a finally tally vote for location choice and it ended up to be the Car Park. I think this will be interesting as a location and we've also spoken about how we could create this real grunge, graffiti theme, featuring large graffiti boards, decorated cardboard boxes, graffiti themed cakes, etc...
There is still a lot more planning and organising to go into all of this, but so far we started by assigning roles for everyone, so we had a communications team, media, photography, people in charge of music, theme/set design, speakers/show presentation, dressing teams, front of house I.e. cake stalls/welcoming of guests.
My role will be both set design and speaking for the first fashion show speech.
In terms of set design, I've had a few ideas including themed graffiti cakes that my mum could make as she has experience in that business, themed graffiti tablecloths and bunting; I'm also wondering about the possibility of getting old vintage cars to come and park in the set car park (if this is something the council will allow). We've also discussed using cardboard boxes as part of the grunge set design/theme and are also thinking about getting things like balloons to decorate.
As a whole group, we have also been discussing logistics inc. how we will communicate with each other on the day, how we will get power down in the car park (getting hold of a generator), when the show will start and having an interval, where guests will set, thinking about hair and makeup; thinking about fittings and getting models together, etc...
I'm really looking forward to seeing how all our work comes together across the fashion show project up until the final show day!!
