Fashion Scout: Day 5

The final day of Fashion Scout, was a pretty relaxed one, and in the morning I decided to change tact a little and sit somewhere different so that I was both backstage and watching the show. Seeing the activity literally around the corner of the catwalk is so interesting, and you'd never believe a model would be running full pelt, with one seven inch high heel half on, seconds before she nonchalantly strides down the catwalk. My favourite show of the week was Ekaterina Kukhareva, the clothes were beautiful, and I wanted to be this glamourous woman that she put on the runway. Unfortunately, I don't feel like I've done them justice, so in this next week I'll do some more drawings from some photos.

And thus, is the end of my Fashion Scout experience this season. I hope to do future seasons though so I'll be back before you know it! Thankyou so much to all the Fashion Scout team for helping me survive!

Fashion Scout: Day 4

After the weekend, I felt well prepared for Monday and Tuesday, which I could argue were my favourite days for drawing. I also wanted to do a lot of backstage focus, just because I find those moments so interesting to draw, aside from the shows and the clothes. Backstage, it's all about the faces and the hair and make-up, a whole side of the show that people don't get to see the process of. And of course it's then that you get to capture the beauty and interesting faces of the models, where a catwalk it's just too fast to get an accurate life drawing.

Monday was so full of shapes and beautiful silhouettes that I just loved. I would DIE for a Heohwan Simulation coat.

Fashion Scout: Day 3

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted about Fashion Scout! More than likely you've got bored of hearing about it, so I will try my best to post all of these in quick succession so that it'll have been worth the wait.

Day 3 was a short day, thankfully, because everybody was knackered from the previous day. The day consisted only of two shows, and I only went to see the Phoebe English show. It was set out a little differently, using one section of the room upstairs. The beautiful thing about the space upstairs is the room itself; the stunning floors and ceiling just add that sense of grandeur to all the shows upstairs. It makes a change from the blank space of downstairs, although it's understandable if it doesn't fit the concepts the designers have created.

What I loved most about this show was more the combination of the set up, the room, and the movement that the models were set to do. It was very mechanical, and so gave an eerie, futuristic feel. Oh, and the shoes, I love the shoes.
