UCOL BLOG

Last night was the BICT students poster showcase for their final projects.  I went along to check out what was happening and there was quite a good turn out. Some of the projects looked pretty good, most of it was a bit over my head though (had to get some things explained once ot twice).

After 3 years of study I am sure the students are relieved that it’s all finished, judging by what I could see – I am sure they will all do pretty well in the industry. I took a couple of random photos; if you want to check them out HERE.

Last night was the fashion show in Whanganui, it blew my mind! even before it started I was impressed with how they had set it all up and the show itself just got better and better as the night went on. There will be more photos but I haven’t got them yet, I used a photographer this time (so I don’t make a mess like my last lot) however the picture above is taken from my phone, you may have seen it via facebook.

I wish I could remember some of the names of the fashion students but as per usual I am useless when it comes to that sort of stuff, the 3rd years were amazing though.. all of them were! My favorite one was the spitfire somethingarather, again.. don’t remember names, I have the program somewhere so might update it later on. Another cool one was where all the models were wearing these gray and black coats and at the end they took them off to reveal bright coloured dresses which were all pretty cool, I thought that was probably the most memorable one of all just because it was so different.

I’ll look at posting another blog when I get the photos back from the photographer, they will be epic i’m sure! and hopefully I will have some names of the students to go with them. Well done Whanganui students, it was primo!

Well last night I went to the fashion show at the Palmerston North campus, this was for the certificate in fashion students to show their work. The atrium was packed full of people to watch the show and it was set up pretty well with the big runway and the random guy on a motorbike.. not sure what that was for but it was cool anyway.

Now my skills in photography were a massive fail! if you have any better shots I would love to put them in the gallery. I was told by a photographer that fashion shows are pretty hard to shoot anyway.. I am pretty sure he said that just to make me feel better though.

The girls all looked pretty amazing with their outfits on and in my opinion done a good job with the whole runway walk. I especially liked the part where they pulled out a few guys to wear nicely decorated bra’s (not because i’m into that sort of thing, it was just funny)

Well anyway, I am impressed with what I saw and can’t wait to see the fashion show ‘Frillseekers’ in Whanganui this Friday, although this time I think it would be better to take a photographer with me!
