During HM Fashion Week we had five days of events: Monday we had the aforementioned Fashion Show, which included 18 original Jackie O.-inspired looks all modeled, designed, and created by various HM students. Tuesday, F.A.D. sponsored a presentation of looks (including garments from HM's very own costume shop) from our most recent fine art-inspired photoshoot. Wednesday F.A.D. collaborated with our school's Documentary Film Club to watch The September Issue with 60 Minutes producer David Gelber. Thursday, designer, artist, and former Project Runway contestant Elisa Jimenez did a workshop with students and we all walked away with an original pattern! Friday, we checked out the crazy costumes of HM Seniors at the Decades Dance, where everyone dressed up as a different style era/decade.
The show was a lot of fun, but as most runway shows go, it was also very stressful. 18 fully dressed and groomed models (including student makeup, hair, clothing, and accessory design) is a lot to handle - it's a good thing there are so many dedicated students at HM, so there were lots of hands backstage! We tried to make the show as professional as possible, basing our work off of what videos, reports, and other documentation we've seen of backstage and pre-show processes from professional designers' fashion shows.
Below, find the program from the fashion show. On the 2 pages you will find all of the information about the designers, models, inspirations, artists, and assistants on the show.
The show took place in our school's cafeteria. The maintenance department did a great job of arranging the chairs with a long catwalk area running down the middle. Many of the garments from the show were made by Zoe, Alice, or Daphne - check out the models' identifying paragraphs in the look book to see which ones! Some of the looks we made were also in the Jr. Operation Smile show, which happened a few days before our school fashion show. A fellow student was the deejay - he did a mix of various upbeat techno songs that combined for great audial energy. All of the photos from the above look book were taken by student photographers at various locations along the runway.
Hope you enjoy the look book!
Let us know what you think :) Would you wear any of it?
