Earlier this week, we had an amazing fashion show at University of Westminster. 1st year BA Fashion Design students turned it into a public event in the ‘garden’ at university of Thursday afternoon. Despite the chilly wind, models in all sizes and shapes were streaming down the ‘catwalk’ in colourful prints – what an event it was! A crowd of couple hundred students from different courses around the campus gathered all around the green space to watch the show.
“It took me days to find the right garment, and weeks to sketch and make this one dress” says 1st year fashion design student Emily Mei Cross. “But walking on a catwalk was delightful! Now that it’s all over, we can all get some descent night sleep”. If one thing’s for sure, is that they’ve succeeded to deliver their work as expected: bright beautiful prints in blue, pink, cream, and all sorts of colours were to be seen mixed (but not particularly matched) with other prints and different garments.
Whilst playing designer chosen tunes from speakers, the models did a pretty good job not falling over sky-high heels, but it was the cuts and shapes of the dresses and their outfits that truly made the audience react in different ways. If someone gasped, it was because fashion design student Alexander Muto walked the catwalk wearing a body-conscious dress, heels and smoking a cigarette. Seconds later, a female model appeared almost half naked, but elegantly wrapped up in one-piece garment. Someone was laughing, some groups of people were whispering to each other in surprise of how the dresses turned out looking so fashionable – atmosphere at fashion show at University of Westminster will always make an impact, that’s for sure. We can’t wait to see more of the talented and wonderful at another fashion show later this year.
