It is that time of the year again with a series of graduate fashion shows. I love it. This year, I will get to go to each one of them. This is a little different from last year as I had such a hard time finding out when the shows were actually on in 2008. For 2009, however, I was at the WAAPA (ECU) exhibition this week as a start of the graduate show season. We still have Central, Challenge, and Swan (WAIFT - WA Institute of Fashion and Textile) TAFE and Curtin University. As it happens they are not all just runway type of shows. For example, Central TAFE guys are putting Sixteen Acts together at His Majesty's Theatre - one of the most prestigious venues in Perth. I'm guessing it will be a theatrical show. I was promised a spot to watch and take photos of the show in a dress circle upstairs. I'm thoroughly excited. At the same time, I do feel a little bit of performance anxiety already. I'm sure the guys (16 graduates) are going through some crazy times right now getting ready for the show which will be on the 23rd of November.
We've already had a Glimpse of their hard work and talent a few weeks ago. That exhibition was possible with the support of Jackie Harley, their lecturer who always does more than what's required. I'm sure Sixteen Acts will be equally or if not more impressive. Here's another sneak peek at their creative talent.
This is going to be a difference experience for many of us. I usually go to His Majesty's all dressed up typically for ballets, operas but not for fashion shows. Well, yes, it's not going to be a fashion show as we know it. Regardless, I'll be in my jeans and white tee probably. Blah! Anyway, knowing these guys I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a show. Interested?

Obviously I can't be there, but I'd love to see any photos you get.
