Fashion says stitched!

Over a good week ago I was given the opportunity to manage a team of makeup artists for the UWE end of graduate fashion show at the Trinity centre, Bristol

Admittingly at first I was nervous at the thought of organising arrangements but thank god for email it was stress free!

There were 2 shows through out the day, the last finishing at 21:00. We arrived at 9:00 on Saturday 12/05 and the models came flooding in for makeup!

The look was very natural they all had to look the same as there was such a variety of cloths they had to suit them all.

The show started at around 12:30 and the second at 19:30,  we stood against the wall running in to top up lip gloss on the next row of models about to go out, trying not to get in the way!

The cloths were really cool and so different from each other, one jacket had lights in it and another collection would look perfect on Lady Gaga!

By the second show all the models needed re-touches by this time there was 2 of us left doing makeup but we pulled it off! and I even got to watch the second half of the show :D

These are my happy snaps! When I get the professional pics back I will post them on!

I finished at about 21:00 went home and gorged on fish and chips! lush!
Enjoy!

*about the show....
More than 80 fashion design graduates showcased designs from womens wear, knitwear, and menswear as part of the show, organised by ‘Fashion Says Stitched,  set up by students in protest at cuts which took funding  from their final year show.
The show is yearly backed by the university but now the money has been withdrawn this year the students fund raised the money them selfs..

As well as a catwalk show, the event  featured an exhibition of  photography, illustration, textiles and styling from 2D illustration students.
