Modo Elements
It’s that time of year again, when the UCL Fashion Society, or Modo as it’s more commonly known, holds its annual fashion show. They’re they only student fashion society in the country (apart from Central St Martin’s, which has a fashion course – UCL doesn’t!) that holds a show entirely composed of students. All the designers are students. All the models are students. The stage is built and lit by students. It is also, of course, photographed by students. (Albeit one of whom could afford to have two D40s around his neck!)
The theme of this year’s show was ‘Elements’, although some designers took this more seriously than others. One designer even had one of the models sewing his collection together on the first night – but that’s not to say that the whole show didn’t look pretty awesome for a bunch of lazy students being in charge. It was quite telling that the timelapse I shot of the stage being constructed involved a lot of inaction…
A few of the designs you may recognise from my previous shoot at Wearable Art for Durable People, as Shabnam Spiers was in both. She’s a fourth year medic at UCL and I have no idea how she manages to fit both medicine and fashion into her life – but she does, to fantastically amazing result. There are whispers of a show in Paris…
I’m so proud of my fellow students. Have a look through the gallery below and the amazing results of their hard work and determination, and let me know what you think in the comments. There are a lot of them – there were 28 designers with up to 8 creations each! – so I have only uploaded low-res images. If any prove particularly popular, I will upload some better quality ones, so let me know.
