Fashion week was amazing I cant begin to imagine what the main one was like ahh wow the shows! I have so much in my memories of parts of shows and rehearsals mainly ill just put washing glasses and 12 plus hour shifts to the back of my mind but that was all good glass collecting and long shifts isnt somthing im not used to just used to getting paid haha. soo worth it though and I need to look at doing it again definitly in Paris if I can afford it or london again. I dressed for a few shows in which i have uploaded some of their designs off the website was so exciting to see how everything worked backstage but very very stressful alot of pressure to get it right first time, dont blame the designers for wanting there show perfect would be the same i guess. I was shocked more than anything at how down to earth most designers were I was worried that the demanding superficial type would put me off I guess I have learnt I was wrong to be stereotypical myself, that made me very happy and enjoy the whole experience. Talking to Yan To gave me some confidence as hopefully I can follow up work experience with him and he was happy to chat away and even asked what I was up to! This is what Yan To has said quoted off of the on off website, and a pic of his work. "What do you consider being ON?"
"I believe in attitudes, not trends. For me, sexuality, sensuality and integrity are always on. Black, gunmetal, red. The cut suggests but never flaunts and the textures are always thoughtful. Subway. Christopher Lambert, Isabel Adjani, Richard Bohringer. To do what I love is all the inspiration I could ever desire."
"What do you consider being OFF?"
"Following trends regardless of self appraisal is off. All colours can work in context but prints are off. Cuts that hide the body are off. Overstyled image. Visible logos. Pulp fiction. Self absorbtion."
