"Open Runway" is a runway experience for audience who fancy being a model for one day. The Galv is transformed into a replica of a fashion show with no audience. This allows people can have their own space and experience the whole thing freely without shyness standing in front of lots of people like real fashion shows. Audience who attend in this event will be the stars of the show, the models. They will get prepared at backstage for makeup costumes fitting. Then following the instruction of the staff’s audience will walk down the catwalk, with lights and music prepared beforehand. Cheers, applauses and paparazzi flashes will be recorded and played as sound and visual effects.
Attending to a fashion show is very hard, not even mention about being a part of it. According to theatrical fashion show sets used by high end fashion brands, only restricted customers are invited to the show including celebrities, VVIP, journalists, etc. So most of people don’t have a chance to attend one of them. For our final interdisciplinary project, we want to create an event where everyone can experience being a model of a fashion show.
