WEEK 7/8- Including SHOW WEEK!



The final week build up!


On the final week build up I was put in charge of working with the Stylist as I had told my designer I was really interested in styling. 

I laid out the accessories and shoes ready to try on a model.





I spent 2 days just with the Stylist and the Main designer, Eudon Choi. I was interested as to how the stylist puts together the different garments. There were 4 rails of different garments to style. After a few hours I got the hang of it and got really into it. 





Here are some of the models during castings trying on the garments we had styled from the previous day.

How the styling and castings worked was... we used 1 model to try on load of garments to style on her to get the looks right before castings. I then worked with the stylists to arrange the looks into a running order. The order kind of worked out to be in terms of colour and print.


We then used these images and number order to try the looks on models in castings to see who fit the clothes the best and who walked and looked the best. I then replaced the new models face int the order on the board and took notes on styling e.g does earrings etc. 





Show Day!!!!!






I dressed 2 models in 2 different outfits. It was a crazy changeover with lots of hands needed. the atmosphere backstage was exhilarating. A lot of adrenaline. 


I also helped choose nail colour and eye makeup line colour for the models.



Eudon, after the show, praising everyone for all their hard work.

Lay planning a difficult skirt pattern and using chalk to trace round the pattern to cut as we couldn't pin this fabric as it would leave the holes. Working out which pieces need block fusing and lay planning them on fabric. I had to make a few trips to one of Eudon Choi's factories in Tottenham where I had to bring many garments and explain where they should place the button holes and whether the stitch was in contrast.  Eudon's birthday!!! We did have a few lunches out and lots of cake! Learning how to fray properly with 10 trousers and tops needed fraying for the show. Learning how to stitch buttons properly so they don't fall off :) The night before the show there will be a lot of buttons to stitch all night!
