FOOT FEST FASHION SHOW



WARNING! Long-ass entry coming up!

Hello :)

This week-end has been crazy cool (don't want to go back to school -.-)!

On Friday we had an annual school festival called Foot Fest, which is made up of all sorts of events - for example, there are dance competitions, battle of the bands, a football tournament and a fashion show. I was a model in the fashion show and it was all very professional! Lasted for 2 hours, I think. During all the previous fashion shows the models were styled by professional make-up and hair people, for example Tony & Guy + MAC make-up, but this year MAC bailed on us THE MORNING OF THE FESTIVAL, Tony & Guy a week before. How unprofessional. Any way, after some panicking, the organizers decided to go buy make-up products for 300 € and use hair products we already had. Besides modelling, I did the make-up for 4 people (I got skillzz ;p)! :) We had time from 12 in the morning until 5:30 in the evening, so it was all good.



Here's me with my make and hair done, fixing Sara's hair.

The models weren't allowed to leave the building the show was held in, and we had to be in school at 9 in the morning.. All that resulted in a lot of free time and hanging out for hours! My designer, Jally, had made sushi for everyone the previous day -->



Some more backstage pics:

JALLY'S BITCHES. The theme of the collection was birds! I personally really liked it.



Me with Viivi. She had already gone on stage (She was the first face of the whole show! Proud of my girlie :)) , but I hadn't... easing stress with some cider :p


with goth chick Julia



I loved Alise's look! I did her make-up hihi, quite proud :)



aaaand this one is taken after the show. You can clearly see how happy I was! :D Couldn't stop smiling, although before I went on stage I was panicking quite a bit!

I don't have any professional pics from the show itself yet, our photographer is putting the pictures up right now (---> throughout the whole week) and our group was the second last to go, so it'll take quite some time before I have professional pics of myself! I'll post them when I have them, but meanwhile I'll share some that other students took.


and


!!

It was kinda nerve-wracking because the audience cheered like no tomorrow for most of the models!! On the stage it felt great but a minute before going on stage I felt like... having a shot :D Also, it was funny how you could hear all the people but not see anyone because of the lightning! :p

There are about 44 pictures taken by the professional up now, I'll post some that I like :)






I might be wrong, but I think there were 10 designers and around 80 models + hundreds of people in the audience = quite a big show!!!!

My designer put up 2 videos, one of the solo "journey", one of the finale. I am not quite sure if you can hear it, but some guys were shouting my name when I came out for the finale. Anyway, since the videos are on fb, I'll just have to link them.... ->
Finale
Personal routine
Hope you can see them!!

On the first one, I go on stage at around 8:20... tell me if it's only me or can you hear 'Juvakka x6' at 8:40? hahaha what a narcist.. :D On the second one, I'm on stage at 3:45... I walk so fast! Was damn nervous, that's why :p

Anyway I'll upload more backstage photos on facebook and keep you updated on the pro pics too! :)

friggin looooove the song that plays during finale, it's called "Don Rimini- Hardcore Girls (Dirty Panda Remix) " but they don't have it on YT so can't share :x sowwy!

After the show me and Sara decided to go to town in our make-up and hair! :D People were commenting our looks on the metro, saying eg. "look at those chicks, they have SO much make-up on!" no shit, didn't realize...

  1. Hey,

    It sounds like the show went really well even though the sponsors were a bit stupid towards you guys...

    You know I started the sponsorship thing back in 2008, and many of the models at the time were complaining that it would be really annoying to stay in the building all day, but once they saw the hair products and the make up they went craazy!

    But I´m glad you guys went back to the old way, a show by the students for the students, and seriously it looks as amazing as the professional one, so congrats guys!

    Really kick ass!

    Good luck with your bac and all, and keep the Fashion Show rocking!
