Carolw Waller is one of my tutors and uni and recently she held an exhibition and fashion show of her painted clothes along with the work of Shirin Guild. For this show and exhibition she called on students to help out. I've never really been a fashion person, there's a huge difference between costume and fashion which most people don't see. However this was an oppotunity to help out with something different. I looked at it as a different type of show, since it wasn't a catwalk fashion show, more of a performance art piece.
The models had different characters they had to portray they were either dreamers of people on the red carpets so there was a great difference of look between them. Since I was a dresser helping with the quick changes I never actually got to see the show, however there were many photos being taken and video being shot of the show, so I hope to see these soon.
It was interesting to see how a fashion show gets put on and to me it seemed quite similar to a theatre show, the rush and panic backstage, getting everyone's hair and make up done in time for the rehearsals, the quick changes, it just made me feel like I was back at the theatre. Which just made me think I can't wait till I'm back where I feel I belong, side stage of a theatre, in the workrooms making the costumes, then seeing them on stage, I'm hoping to get more work experience back at the Theatre Royal, Bath this year, so I've just got to wait to hear back!
