My first time working backstage at the Top Model fashion event 2021!!
Yesterday, Saturday 18th September 2021 I had the pleasure of attending my first Top Model fashion show event at The Royal Horseguards Hotel in Whitehall, London. This was my first time working backstage at Top Model or even doing anything like this!
I'd been really excited to attend the event since I found out about it as I've never done anything like this before and it was honestly the most amazing experience!
We had a really early start arriving in London around 9:00am and wow.. the venue was so beautiful! I absolutely loved seeing all the designers' garments up-close and then seeing them come to life as looks on the runway.
Throughout the day we worked with the second years and it was so great to learn from them and their previous experiences. During the shows we assisted steaming the garments ready for runway, helping the models change outfits between different categories including self-styled outfits and designer garments, organizing the clothing, etc. Although it was very full-on and definitely not easy, I have learned and have so much to take away from this experience!
I'm so lucky and grateful to have had this amazing opportunity working with and talking to a range of people in the fashion industry from both designers to models. I met so many different people all within/looking to make it in the fashion industry and am already feeling really inspired... it's fair to say my first show was a huge success!!
I particularly enjoyed seeing all the garments and looks come to life as the models walked them down the runway - I loved seeing all the details and creativity behind the garments up-close.
I had the very best time and really look forward to more opportunities like this one during my time studying fashion!
