I never really believed in the whole principle of the model speaking 90% of the message of your design. I always pretty much thought that good design speaks for itself.
Cue tonight, Free Creative Fashion Show first fitting. Unfortunately we student designers are still at that dismal point where we dont get to be picky and choosy about models, we get who we get and have to work with them. Tonight we were randomly allocated models for the first fashion show.
People, up until tonight I have been feeling confident about my range. But apparently the wrong model really can ruin it all. It seems that, taken off the perfect size 10 dress-makers doll these garments have been molded to, they lose all their magic and intrigue. And a too short model, even slighlty so, DOES in fact ruin the look! My skirts are not supposed to be knee-length!!
Suddenly Escape seems tasteless and frumpy. I need a miracle. Perhaps it just seems gloomy right now because I am tired. Maybe our next fitting will bring brighter things. Hope with me.
