The Show of Shows

Looking back to last year (again), we've managed to dig up yet more video clips to share!

Throughout 2006 the college put on a number of different shows in the main hall and the Performance Arts studio.

The Alternative Fashion Show, the Hair and Beauty Show, the main Fashion Show, and the end of year show from the Performance Arts students all showed off the abilities of students. Those abilities ranged from singing, through dancing, walking the catwalk, to arranging the hair, designing and making the clothes, and dressing the models, as well as working behind the scenes.

The video clips we've dug up were recently played on the college stand at the Clothes Show Live showing passers by the full range of activities in the college. Let us know what you think by adding your comments at the end of this article.

The height of fashion

It was a very early morning start for students on the Fashion Pathway course on Wednesday.

They boarded a coach outside of the college for a day trip up the M1 to the NEC Birmingham and the finale of the Clothes Show Live.

The main show consisted of a huge catwalk with a dramatic and highly choreographed show that included showing off the By Caprice range.

There was a smaller area displaying some of the other collections. Saidah took these pictures of a couple of her favourites (above) and reported that she "Totally enjoyed the collections shown on the catwalk."


Apparently the catwalk shows were second only to the free goodies as the best part of the day.

Searching around the designs and dress display forms, Rebekha found these dresses and corset the most appealing.




When asked to sum up the day she said, "I thought it was really wonderful you know. I'm really glad that the college brought me here!"

Both say they will definitely be returning to next year's Clothes Show Live and feel a need to get really creative.

A fashion statement

If you are a fashion student, you can't have helped notice that this year's Clothes Show Live is in full swing until Wednesday at Birmingham's NEC.

The college is represented by a stand that can be found in the 'blue zone' (whatever that is!), proudly showing off some of the excellent work of students from our college.

Visitors get an opportunity to learn more about our college and the courses available, including a chance to watch a fast moving film collage of some of this year's fashion shows that students from the college put on or were involved in.

On display is some of the striking and intricate work that featured in the shows, demonstrating the brilliant results of the hard work and long hours put in by the WFC fashion students.
