What better way to start the week than with an impromptu photoshoot? Here’s a behind the scenes glimpse of our fabulous first years bringing some serious Hollywood glamour to the studio for their window display project!

The Golden Show photoshoot

Here’s a short film with behind the scenes footage of our Golden Show photoshoot which took place on Tuesday at Paramount Bar.

The shoot features our models, Gillian Leslie and Iuilia Stoica (stage 3 Fashion Management) and Tadiwanashe Wazara (stage 2 Fashion Management) and our fabulous photographers, Jen BirtlesKelman and Martin Parker.

A huge thanks to MSc Fashion Management student Joanna Anniol for filming and editing, and a further thanks to Bon Accord & St Nicholas for lending us the garments.

Over the last two weeks our third year fashion management students have been busy planning their Golden Show photoshoots, from styling right through to editing. The first took place on Friday in our on-campus photography studio where the students focused on beauty shots of the gorgeous Gillian Leslie (third year Fashion Management student and face of this year’s fashion show). There was lots of confetti and gold leaf involved!

Our second photoshoot took place today in Paramount bar, Aberdeen, where the students aimed to visualise their “celebrate fashion with us” concept for this year’s fashion show.

Well done to everyone involved and huge thanks to our fabulous in-house photographers, Jen BirtlesKelman and Martin Parker! Watch this space for final photos from the shoot…

November flashback

November flashback

We’re feeling nostalgic again so here’s a little flashback to November 2012 at the Fashion Place.

It was a busy month where we saw our stage 2 students complete their photoshoots for the magazine project and our first years launch their “Charity Chic” fashion exhibition. This year the students are busy with the photoshoots once again so watch this space…

The fashion exhibition will take place in April this year and we can’t wait! It’s set to be a big project which will involve Fashion Management, PR and Events Management students at Aberdeen Business School. We’ll update you with more information about this in the new year!

Magazine Project

Our stage 2 BA (Hons) Fashion Management students have started work on the annual magazine project as part of their module in fashion communication.

The magazine is in its fifth year and each year the students produce something completely different from the last. As part of this project, the students will each produce a magazine cover, fashion spread, product page, article, editor’s letter and contributor profile. 

Last week, we had a visit from fashion photographer and lecturer at Aberdeen College, Steve Smith (http://stevewilliamsmith.com), who gave the students some interesting things to think about and inspiration for the photo shoots they’re currently planning. In order to ensure they get the best possible result from their shoots, the students are working on mood boards to help develop their concepts and convey these to their photographer and models. Most of the students will be working with photography students from Aberdeen College and Gray’s School of Art.

Another interesting aspect of the project is a blogging task  where students are required to set up a blog and, throughout the duration of the project, deliver at least ten posts. We look forward to sharing some of these with you in the next few weeks. The fashion magazine project has helped some of our students establish themselves as successful fashion bloggers, for example Nicola Kirkbridge who graduated in 2012 and works as a stylist in Melbourne, Australia (http://nicola-claire.blogspot.co.uk).

In a few weeks time, the students will choose a name for the magazine. And as soon as we know, you’ll know!

World of Colour photoshoot

Next week we’ll be unveiling our marketing materials for the World of Colour fashion show. Designed, styled and modelled by our third year BA (Hons) Fashion Management students, this year’s marketing materials are inspired by the world’s fashion capitals.

Tickets for the show are being printed right now and – as soon as the ink’s dry – our students will be out selling them.

You can pre-order your ticket by emailing worldofcolour@outlook.com.
