Week 7 Update

BACK OF HOUSE



Executive Producer Joan Kelly, BOH Assistant Producer Brittany, and Academic Director Dominique complete the final garment clearance.

It was another whirlwind day for the Back of the House as we had our first model fitting. With all final garments in, our first round of female models went through over one hundred garment fittings, stylings, and photos. With 15 of our models present, we were able to record a wide variety of looks and sizes that will be a perfect start to our line-up!




Model fittings will continue this Thursday when we have professional models from the TCM Models & Talent (click for more info!) as well as our male models stopping by. This week we were lucky enough to have a few of our designers sit in to meet their models as they helped style and size pieces.

Right: Isaiah Whitmore lends a critical eye to the styling of his garments.

Congratulations to all of our featured designers! We will be posting featurettes on a few of you in anticipation of the show!

Other activities in the Back of the house this week included the assembly of a multimedia presentation for use during the consultation meeting with Benefit Cosmetics. The presentation, assembled by Hair & Make-Up Manager Sayna and reviewed by Front of House Assistant Producer and Promotion Manager Nicole (pictured at left), shows the different make-up trends for each set list category. Benefit Cosmetics (clicke for more info!) will be doing make-up on all models for both shows, so communication is key!



FRONT OF HOUSE



Front of House was slammed this week, with the program needing to be sent to print, tickets being sold, and promotional efforts. Program Editors Crystal and Darien worked it out, assembling all the designer information, judge, model, and designer lists, community partners, and working on building up the set list. The program is an important part of the production, giving us an opportunity to offer ad space, both to sponsors and non-sponsors, and provide additional information on featured designers and their collections.

Below: Instructor Lisa and Program Editor Crystal review what information is still missing from the program.
