2006.02.25: Fashion Show at BMW Centre

This fashion show was commissioned by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Edmonton. Derks was invited to do all of the men's fashions and Gnuda was invited to showcase their women's fashions. As of the date of this entry, Derks' website is abysmal but I've seen some preliminary mockups of the new design and I assure you that the new site will be spectacular . . . about time. Fashion show coverage was commissioned by Derks. Makeup and hair by Perugia Salon and Spa on Whyte Avenue . . . I liked the hair but once again I wasn't very pleased with the makeup done. Lighting was terrible . . . two goons were operating spotlights and had trouble following models down the runway and giving decent coverage . . . furthermore, the lamps were gelled in such a way that colour temperature from these lamps were at least 4000degrees warmer than the ambient lighting in the room which made it impossible to get accurate colour across the entire image. But for a first fashion show for some of the organizers I can't be too critical.
