Now read the text quickly (maximum 5 minutes) to get a general idea ofthe article.

Fashion shows may seem to be full of glamourand beautiful people. Terry Bull looks at thework and preparation that the public doesn'tsee. The top European shows are over for another season. Fashion

journalists who have visited the shows in Milan, London, Barcelonaand Paris can put their feet up with a sigh of relief, and buyers cantake a well-earned holiday. For the designers however, there is notime to open the champagne to congratulate themselves beforeeverything starts all over again. In only four months they must have a newcollection of clothes ready for the March shows next year.

From now until March, designers will be working together with their creative teamsto put together a show that will hopefully capture the imagination of the fashion

journalists and impress the buyers. If the show isn t a success and no -one wants to

buy, the designer could find him or herself looking for another job. The showmakes everyone nervous , says top Russian model Lucy Lastik From the make upand wardrobe people to the designers and the models. We all get jumpy and bad-tempered because there s so much at stake .

Designer Ben Simone describes the nightmare of working on a show. "It s oftencomplete madness before a show, a nd it s at these times I wonder why I'm doingit. It just becomes chaos. There's so much going on at once and so many things tothink about. I spend most of the time in a state of high anxiety. But when it'sfinished, I feel wonderful and I just can't wait for the next one. The shows are thereason I do what I do and I get a real thrill and sense of satisfaction out of them.'

Ben Simone s last collection had excellent reviews. But after taking a short break,it was not long before he began to think about next year s collection. Designerswork a year in advance, so at the moment they are working on collections that willbe seen in the shop windows in a year s time. However, getting new ideas for


28/31


clothes does not come easily. Although designers work to tight schedules, Benexplains how creativity can't be immediately available whenever and where everyou need it, 'Suddenly I start imagining forms and shapes in my head; colours anddesigns. Then I sit down and start to sketch and the ideas simply run out of me.'

Once the designs are on paper and the designer has chosen the fabrics he or shewants to work with, the sample collection for the shows can be produced. This iscarried out by the design team under the designer's supervision. Firstly, the cuttermakes an initial pattern of the garment from the designer's sketch. Then a model ismade, which is then altered by the designer until it is exactly how they want it.Finally, the perfected patterns are passed over to a machinist.

At the same time the garments are being made, thedesigner starts to work with a stylist. Together theydecide in what way the collection is going to bepresented at the shows. This involves deciding whataccessories; hats, bags, belts, etc. should be used, andthe hiring of the creative team - choreographer,producer, hair-stylist and make-up artist. The moremoney a designer has available, the more experts he

or she can employ to create a successful show.

About a month before the show takes place, the stylist will begin to visit modellingagencies. Getting models with the right look is extremely difficult if the budget istight. Fashion shows have a reputation for being badly paid, and often modelschosen for a show will drop out at the last moment if they get a better paid job,like an advert. However, a show that gets a lot of press coverage can make a newmodel's name.

When things aren't certain even up to the last minute, it's no wonder there's anatmosphere of panic backstage. While the designer may be wondering why he orshe didn't take up painting instead of fashion, it is up to the stylist to remain calmand in command. As head of the creative team, the stylist must make sure thateveryone mows exactly what they're doing. There is only one rehearsal before thereal thing and this is when the stylist has to get everyone organised. Whether theshow is a triumph or a disaster depends on that.
