Yesterday was the official Derby Graduate Fashion Show 2011. I made my way to the assembly halls in the city centre and arrived at 10 am. We started the day by arranging the models and getting them straight into hair and make-up and dressed ready for the first show at 1:30 pm. Me and Josh had been listed as runners for the staff from Toni and Guy and the Make-Up Artists.It was our job to make sure they had refreshmants and that when it came to the lunch break that they were notified and that they recieved food and for any of the models who were still in hair and make-up to be fed also.
After Hair and Make-Up We spent the morning getting the models to do dry runs of each collection so that they could get comfortable with the catwalk. The first show was a viewing for the public but was also a chance for the 3rd years to change anything they deemed necessary with their collection.
The time between the First and Second shows were spent having retouches to the models Hair and Make-up. When the Second fashion show began, the atmosphere of the backstage was amazing. Watching the audience build up was fantastic. Everything was very fast paced but thankfully there weren't any problems. I really felt the whole year came together and worked as a strong team. A huge sigh of relief during the encore made me feel like it was a job well done. As soon as the models had gone, we packed up and went to party!
