24models24hours - fashion shoot marathon!
Saturday, October 29 at 8:00am - October 30 at 8:00am
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location Derby City
Based at the Quad in the city square
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Created By Ewan Mathers, Holly Booth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Info The idea is simple: on the hour, every hour from 8am to 8am shoot a different model, in a different location, in different outfits, styled by different teams – and all around the city of Derby.
The final result will be a book and exhibition to showcase the wealth of fashion talent based in Derby and the East Midlands. Imagine an Italian Vogue style fashion shoot and you will get the idea!
The first part of the process is to see who might be interested in joining the project. We will need models, make-up artists, hair stylists, stylists, local fashion designers to begin with. So if you are at all interested then do let us know!
Recently the Quad have agreed to let us use their building for the 24 hours as the base for the marathon - huge thanks to them!
See the website www.24models24hours.com
Photographers for the whole event will be Ewan Mathers and Holly Booth - why not get involved?
