Roxor Models: You did good on those modeling assignments, the business owners felt the need to phone me and gush about all the extra business the publicity brought in so I guess we’ll keep you around for a bit longer. Students from La Fiesta Tech have asked Roxor Models to donate the services of a few of our models toward their end of year charity fashion show. You won’t get paid but you’ll gain experience and get your name, and more importantly; your face out there so get a move on!

Task: There are 5 students putting on shows but with all the outfit and make-up changes you’ll only have the time to walk two of the shows. You should chose two fashion students from the list below portraying each designer’s own unique style (through outfit choice and set/catwalk design/décor). Be sure to take into account each designer’s likes and dislikes. At least one of your outfit choices should be everyday wear. You should also provide a behind the scenes shot with a little paragraph about how the day went, how you got on with the fashion students etc.

Your set for this shoot is a catwalk but can be as conventional or unconventional as you like.

Fashion Students (choose two to work with):

(Hippy/naturalistic) - Sunshine Flowers (her given name) is a third generation hippy and level-5 vegan (though she prefers the description “free spirit”) who actively protests the use of animal skins and fur in fashion. Most of her designs feature ‘re-purposed’ or recycled materials and she insists that one day she will bring back tie-dye. Sunshine just adores everything about nature and loves to celebrate that in her work.

(Mainstream/trendy) - Bree Chatter-Housen is the self proclaimed top designer at La Fiesta Tech. Her dream is to be the next big thing at New York Fashion week and have everyone wear her clothes. She will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. She loves simple and classic designs paired with fabulous accessories. Her favourite colour is whatever happens to be ‘now’ but she loathes baring too much flesh claiming that “it’s just lazy design made for skanks and ho’s!” Most people think Bree is an awful person but nobody can say a bad thing about her looks, she’s always on trend and never has a hair out of place.

(Futuristic) - Davin Laarson is a foreign exchange student who mostly keeps himself to himself. Whether that’s through choice or not we couldn’t say. Most people who’ve spoken with him say he’s weird and intense and can often be heard muttering something about “them coming for us”. He’s obsessed with all things futuristic and/or space-age and his designs often look a little ‘out of this world’. Nobody’s got close enough to ask his preferences but he doesn’t seem to like too much colour, he tends to stick to neutrals and metallics with just the occasional bright accent colour.

(Theatrical) - Mary Cho is what some call ‘off the wall’ or ‘out there’. She finds mainstream fashion utterly “dull and lifeless” instead taking inspiration for her outrageous designs from stars such as Lady Gaga and Rhianna. She loves playing with a wide range of colours and creating unusual and over the top, theatrical outfits that probably wouldn’t be to most people’s tastes but she prides herself on catering to the ‘fashion brave’. Mary plans to specialize in costume design, be it for theatre or drag-queen acts.

(Alternative) - Danny Bishop is also a little ‘out there’ but for much different reasons. He is a dark, brooding soul who rarely finds much to smile about. His niche is ‘Alternative’ fashion which covers a wide range of dark, grungy and… uh,….more dark outfits. He’s not completely adverse to colour though, occasionally he caters to ‘plastic goths’ but he scoffs that he only does it ironically. Pastels and flowery prints cause him actual physical pain.

Requirements:
1. 2x full body images of you on the catwalk: one for each designer you chose.
2. 1x image behind the scenes accompanied by a short paragraph explaining your experiences and what it was like to work with your chosen designers.
3. Title all images so Judges can clearly see which designers you are working with.
4. Use of Text, borders and Logo's is not mandatory but is allowed.
5. There's no need to take budget into account despite it being a charity event. Assume that the college has an extensive art department already in place to provide all sets and materials etc.

Judging Parameters (overall, not per image):
Pose (includes facial expression)
Creativity
Portrayal of theme
Rule adherence
