Concept Runway
I helped a friend to do some runway modelling at the cathay.
Fun? definitely.
Again? ….
Today was the last day and it was the best of the last 3 days. Basically, there were many constrains to start out with, so it was a miracle that this show was even up.
First day was the VIP opening, and to many of the models it was our first time doing this. We had someone to give us a crash course on modelling the products:
1. Products should be above the waist but below the chin
2. SMILE
3. Play with the products i.e. if its a phone pretend to call, if its a laptop, so some typing
4. 4 spots to stop and pose
5. Make sure every moment when you are on stage are photogenic
But it was also the day when i threw all the 5 points of of the window~! sigh… when you are on stage it’s very difficult to keep your cool. Moreover, the dressing room was quite a distance from the stage. Which means we all have to shuttle run from the stage to dressing room. I had 4 outfits, so it was very exhausting.
Day 2, we all learnt from our mistakes, and the organizer decided that they cannot have models running around like ‘head-less chickens’ because it caught a lot of attention. (imagine someone all made up with curry puff hairstyle and odd looking clothes, hmm.. very eye catching) So they added games in between changes to buy us time. The event was much much smoother than the first. and plaktoz won a wireless keyboard! (cheapo Bravo~!)
Day 3, everything is very very smooth, even better than the second day. But it was not without flaws. One model did not come, so we had one model doing 7 outfits! So what did the rest of us do to help her? ‘teamwork’ pose pose pose pose walk pose pose pose walk… you get the idea…
I learn that there are many things behind the scene that many do not see. The make up artist and hairstylist had to come 4 hours beforehand to do hair and make-up. The dressers at the dressing room helping us rip clothes and stockings off. It was a team effort that made it successful. So while looking at the pictures we all have to acknowledge the effort put in by these people and not just the models
