I have actually mentioned this before (very briefly), but we had a school project I was in where we put together a fashion show to a handicraft convention that took place in my hometown. The clothes on the show(s) were old schoolworks and then stuff we made specially for the shows in association with a Finnish company (Globe Hope) that makes clothes and accessories from recycled materials like old hospital textiles, work uniforms, army leftovers etc. They provided the materials and we made the clothes (and bags, belts etc). I made a dress, purse and a belt, I'll prolly post pics of the dress later.

The show (or shows, since there was really 4 of them...) was a joint project of students from different fields of study (but mainly ours): the fliers and posters etc were done by graphic designers, hair and make up by hair dressers etc etc... Of course the models were also students from our school (I actually ended up as a model too).

... So the reason I actually started to rant about this was that the shows are over now and everything worked out well AND it was REALLY fun to be in this project, even if it started out with almost a nervous breakdown (if you remember my previous journal entry...).
