Our models in rehearsal and the MCAST fashion show, displaying dresses made by Adam Smith College NC Fashion students and Colin Bell. The dresses were made using techniques learnt during Julian Robert's workshop and incorporating sheer fabric panels and cut-outs in organza. A big thank you to the wonderful Maltese models, you were great!
Last night we had two fashion shows from Adam Smith College students simultaneously in Fife, both were a great success.
This week with see the Edinburgh College Of Art Fashion Show. The show will feature the final collections of 20 graduating students from Fashion and Performance Costume. This year there will also be three new labels launched by graduating students as part of the 'All walks on the Catwalk' project. This project was established by Caryn Franklin, Debra Borne and Erin O'Connor. The objective of the project is to encourage a more diverse ideal of beauty within fashion, celebrating diversity and promoting 'Emotionally Considerate design' where fashion designers consider the emotional needs of the wearer. The students were assigned a 'icon' woman whom they had to get to know before specifically designing a dress that meets their needs. The 'Icon' women are different sizes and ages and one is pregnant and they will all be modeling the bespoke creations in this upcoming cat walk.

This coming week Fiona McLennan and I are going to be exhibiting some of the dresses that were made at the Julian Roberts workshop in a fashion show at Aarhus, Denmark. Fiona is also going to be visiting TEKO Scandinavia's largest design and management college and participating in their classes. So I thought I would take the opportunity to share some of TEKO's work, the pictures above are taken from a catwalk show 'Cutting Edges 2009' in Copenhagen.
