So on Wednesday and Thursday it was my job to work as one of the dressers behind our university's graduate fashion show.It was a real eye opener to what working behind a big fashion show was like. I thoroughly enjoyed it although it was hard work, I would definitely do it all over again.
I think the main thing I learned was just how well organised a show like this had to be - hair, make-up, rehearsal, fittings were all planned to specific times and places. I enjoyed meeting professional models and working with them, and I also enjoyed looking at the third year's work and seeing them all together looking great with hair and make-up and accessories.Another great thing about Thursday was the atmosphere. There was a great team feeling like we had to work with each other and help each other if we got stuck to make this fashion show run smoothly. I spent a few hours between the two fashion shows with friends for a meal and it was great just doing that too because it was the first bit of out of uni time we'd had for so long. It's a shame really because it was our last day before breaking up for summer!
After working behind the fashion show, it made me want to look at possible careers like this. It was tiring and hard work and nerve racking but I just enjoyed it so much, it was so much fun and being apart of this relieved, happy atmosphere at the end of the night was really nice.Could a dresser be one of my possible career options?? Perhaps I should look to see if there is ever anywhere local who want dressers volunteer work.
