fash@G Degree Catwalk Show

June the 2nd and 3rd saw the first ever Fashion Design (fash@G) Catwalk show from Grays School of Art, Aberdeen. Hosted at the Academy Shopping centre. It was two very successful nights, which showed the next up and coming Scottish talent. The first night was the VIP show, where Johnstones of Elgin, BP, International tartans and various other sponsors attended along with friends and family. 300 people were seated at each event and it was a full house each night.  

The Venue was Designed by one of the graduate student Ashliegh Brand, based around a quote from American Beauty:
"ITS HARD NOT TO BE MAD WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH FASHION IN THE WORLD." 

Ashliegh exhibited her garments around the venue, which was painted white with muslin covering all the windows and the floor covered in glitter. 

I was working Front of house taking guests to there seats, offering drinks. and when the show began i was a runner making sure all the collections were ready to go out and everything was running smoothly.
