Today we got to go to an actual fashion show! I would have never imagined that I would have the opportunity to see a real fashion show, let alone one in Milano. It was everything I imagined and then some. Since it is mens fashion week we saw a show featuring men's clothing. I could not have asked for more. There were so many looks for us to see and one of the students in our group even got to stand with the press and take pictures for fashiontimes.com.
I know everything in the fashion industry is so fast pace, but I didn't expect the runway shows to be the same way. It's the only chance the designer has to relax and enjoy his work. And before you know it it's over. All I could think about is when I took a course called Apparel Quality Analysis. In this class I actual had to make my very own dress. It took me the full course time (about 10 weeks) to complete, and that was with help. That also didn't involve any of the design process either. I'm sure this designer had much more help in the production stage, but none the less needed more time in the design stage. After all his hard working producing all of these new looks, and about 20 minutes is all he has to enjoy.
It was fast but exciting. The models came out and strutted down the runway with such a fierce attitude. It was enough to take your breath away. I don't think I would ever have an interest in designing. But I would love to sit front row, taking notes as a buyer, and planning out which looks to buy for my store.
One fashion show was enough to please us all I'm sure. But a couple hours after, we got a phone call inviting all of us to 2 more shows for tomorrow. 2!! Enrico Coveri is the second show we will be attending and apparently Coveri has been following our web reality project through Fashion Times website and is excited to have us all at the show. Can't wait for tomorrow. Fashion never stops!
