Before I broke up for summer the design students were asked to get involved with a catwalk show so we had to come up with a theme, with such a diverse group of creative minds we all had different ideas. Some prefer the darker side of fashion for instance Tim Burton films others liked the vintage side such as Elvis; another idea was children stories like red riding hood. So I pitched an idea of using a theatre production, instantly ‘Wicked’ came to mind as I had seen it recently and it was INCREDIBLE. I suggested could be mixed with the wizard of oz therefore people could use the softer side of Dorothy or darker side, the wicked witch and there are many other characters so everyone should be happy. My idea was voted the best and Wizard of oz became the theme which was amazing.
The catwalk was held at Hampshire Autistic Society for a charity event, there was a great turn out with everyone looking divine in their dress to impress gowns and suits. My lovely cousin Kelly Hogan modelled my clothes; I showcased my second year work and my wizard of oz inspired dress.
