FASHION
FRIDAYS |
|
 |
|
This year the School of Fashion Design will
be continuing the very successful Fashion Fridays series
over the summer in a whole new way -- on film!
We will be filming a series of studio shows featuring
SFD alumni (both established and new faces). Dana
Moscardelli & Lisa Cataneo of Finer
Threads will work with these designers to select a
group of garments that best represent their collections.
Models from both Dynasty Models and Tonn Model
Management are already on board to walk the runway.
The shows will be treated this much like editorial
fashion photo shoots -
they'll just be moving
pictures!
The fashion film shorts will be screened at the school
on Fridays at noon throughout the summer
(June/July/August) on the huge picture window facing
Newbury Street which will be transformed into a huge
screen! Passers-by will see different designer each week
(each designer will be screened twice throughout the
summer). The designer roster includes: 4march,
Daniela Corte, Daniel Faucher, Fiandaca,
Denise Hajjar, Myre Designs and okw.
Later in the season clips from the series will also be
featured online. |

This year Viewfinder Productions teams up with Boston
Fashion Week to re-launch modelBOSTON!
The team at Viewfinder, Kristie Babbin and Tracy Bennett
Stewart will be heading the search for the faces of
Boston fashion for 2007.
After the open calls, thirty semi-finalists will be
chosen. They will represent Boston’s best new male and
female models. Those thirty will be celebrated at an
exclusive event that will launch a week of online
voting, when the public can weigh in on the decision of
who will go on to take part in five produced photo
shoots with leading fashion photographers. |
|
After one week of voting the top ten will become
finalists and be reviewed by a panel of industry leaders
who will ultimately choose the top male and female
model.
The whole process will be recorded for posterity in a
film that will document the entire experience and be
screened during Boston Fashion Week this fall with an exhibit
featuring the photographs by each of the participating
photographers.
