Graduate Fashion Week (Best Day Ever Part2)









Graduate Fashion Week is a fashion exhibit and show put on by 20 different colleges from in and around London. We went to the show early to look at the designers collections, but what really intrigued me were some of the fashion marketing majors preview books. They had these in-depth books for show and they followed every part of the creative process from inspiration (anything from a field of flowers to a swatch of fabric) to the complete design of the garments and a marketing campaign for the line. It was so motivating but almost intimidating to look at these books and wonder if I could create works of my own that would even compare to these young designers and marketing majors.

Then we entered the runway show (we were 4th row!); the stage was amazing lit up in bright purple with green chairs lining the sides. A top designer was chosen from each school and did a collection of 5 pieces.... Every single collection was AMAZING!! My favorite was one that was all white with just simple, elegant garments (of course). There were other ones though that were more outlandish such as a collection of "hair inspired" pieces that had models wearing fur and even one that looked like human hair! I also have to give a shout out to my favorite model a man that was probably around 60 years old and was by far the most theatrical model!!
