Esther has put together a poster, advertising the Bournemouth show, that can be hung up around The Arts University Bournemouth. It has been created in neon colours, like the stand and our theme. It includes all of the information needed to book tickets online.
I ensured that the posters were hung up around all areas of the University to promote the show for students.
On Wednesday and Thursday, all of the models that we are using for the Bournemouth show came in all day to try on the designers collections.
This ran like a normal 3D review, with individual time slots for each designer, allowing them to see what the clothing looks like on the models as well as receiving feedback from the tutors regarding their collections.
My job for the day was to coordinate the models. This included ensuring that they had the correct information for the day (time, location) and letting them know that they have to bring their passports for our records. When they arrived, I had to photocopy and show the passports all to Penny. I had to set up a changing area with a rail so that the designers could quickly get the models changed.
Unfortunatley all of the models could not make the fitting, which slowed down the process as after one review they had to get changed and styled in a new collection. This would have been made a great deal quicker if we had the correct number of models, as the models could have been dressed and ready for the next review as soon as the other models came out.
I had to make sure each designer was ready, with their line up, to dress the models.
The models had to be put in garments that fitted them well and shoes that were the correct size.
Throughout the day, I had to keep a flow of food and drink up for the models, ensuring that they had food and drink and time for breaks.
I had to photograph each collection, front and back, so that I can put together an A4 page with photos for each designer for the judges packs.
After having another meeting about the make up for both shows, I went with one of the make up artists into Bournemouth town centre to try and source make up that would be appropriate.
We decided on a neon orange for the lip and a smokey eye with potentially a neon stripe.
Although we visited all of the more professional make up stands, Mac, Clarins etc. we struggled to find anything that was bright enough for the models lips.
We ended up visiting Superdrug and finding a bright orange lipstick that was enhanced by a neon orange eye shadow over the top.
The Bournemouth Graduate Show social media is up and running.
I have ensured that the venue address, timings, ticket link and a note to let the guests know that they get a free glass of fizz with each ticket is on the event.
It was also crucial that the guests are aware of which designers are showing in which show, so that they can buy the right ticket. I have added this information to the event on Facebook.

In my press pack, I have included a folded CV, a press release printed on tracing paper, a business card style leaflet and a business card.I hand made every aspect of the envelope, fastening etc.
I have been in further contact with the sponsors for the Goodie Bags for GFW. All of the goodie bag products need to be delivered and loaded into the bags prior to the show. Many of the sponsors have let me know that they cannot arrange delivery to the University because of schedules and the quantities of the products (200 of each product). So for the time being, I am ensuring that all of the products are delivered and stored at my house. I will need to arrange transportation for the products to get to university closer to the time.
At the moment the following products have been delivered:
I am currently liaising with the following companies to arrange delivery:
So far the products that have arrived look brilliant together- they are all organic and work well along side one another packaging wise.
The models are required to come in for a fitting for all of the outfits for the Bournemouth show. They were asked within the casting if they could make the fittings.
The fittings are taking place on the 11th & 12th of May.
The Menswear fittings are between 9.30-12.30 on the 11th of May.
The Diverse girls fittings are between 1.30-4 on the 11th May.
The Kidswear models fittings are after 4pm on the 11th of May.
The remaining girls (12 in total) are to be in all day on the 12th of May.
I have ensured that they have all received an email, with individual timings, a map to the fashion department and a note to bring their passports with them for photocopying.
This will be the last time before the show that the designers can fit on their collection specific models.
After liaising with Scissors, they have come up with a final look for the show. It’s very unusual and contemporary and will work perfectly with the theme that we are trying to portray:
