Recent meetings have seen exciting progress being made in all
areas of our event. We have begun the process of model recruitment for the
night, and are spoilt for choice with candidates. We have also started to
generate a fair amount of interest from ethical brands willing to lend us clothes
and have now started contacting more specialist ethical clothing suppliers,
selling products such as bridal wear and kilts.
Many members of the team have been to see a number of
fashion shows around Edinburgh of late, including one held in the Tom Fleming
Centre itself. These shows have given us plenty of ideas about the style of
catwalk we should use, and tips on how best to utilise the space in the room,
to allow for a larger audience and the maximum number of stalls.
Finally, after much thought on where we should donate the
money from the event, we have settled on the Stewart’s Melville College project
GLAM, which allows students at the school to visit communities in Malawi and
support the work there in a variety of ways. This is an excellent cause and
makes buying a ticket for the event all the more worthwhile!
