ŌRĀRE

ŌRĀRE was my final project for my Fashion & Business Diploma. Myself and 10 other students were in charge of putting together every element of the show from marketing, to music, to set design, and everything in between. I took on the role of staging manager and I created 4 looks for the runway.  

 

The biggest challenge we encountered was timing on the day of the show. My role of staging manager required that I put together the set with all of the fabric we were lent from Fabcycle. The drapery element was what took longer than expected. In this case, we split tasks accordingly and I focused on setting up kabuki drops with the production company and checked in periodically with the team working on the background draping to ensure the fabrics hung exactly how we envisioned.

 

Our aim for ŌRĀRE was for the looks to be ethereal and cohesive through colour, as we had 11 different people styling to one brief. To execute this vision, I decided to try my hand at sewing. I created four looks from scratch and styled two others with pieces from a local boutique. 

 

We were successful in executing our vision and we were all very proud of the result. It was rewarding to take part in this show from the very beginning stages and to see the product of our hard work come to life.
