Behind the scenes - Spring 2010 Clothing Show

Watching a runway show from the audience and seeing the models come down the catwalk, makes it easy to assume that putting such a show together is a piece of cake. The girls, the clothes, the lights, the music... all come together in a polished and professional display.

In reality, behind the scenes can be quite hectic, if not chaotic.

I recently presented eight pieces from my collection on the runway at the Spring 2010 Clothing Show in Toronto, Canada. Among the many designers, Harobed Designs was featured three times over two days. The shows were well attended and I was very gratified, sitting in the audience for the final show on Saturday, May 15, by the enthusiastic applause from the audience as the models in my garments did their final turn on the runway.

In keeping with the theme of this blog, which is to look on the inside and underneath, and at what's behind fashion, I'm posting some "behind the scenes" photos from the runway show. In the top picture, you can see the models when they're standing ready to go out on the catwalk. The second picture is taking from the wings, showing one of the models - wearing our red satin bolero with petal trim - on her way backstage.

If you'd like to look at the designs from the audience perspective, you can find them on http://canadawears.ca; look for the link to The Clothing Show Spring 2010 where you can click on Harobed Designs in the 1 p.m. time slot. There, you'll find a link for raymond's photoset, with about 18 different shots from the runway.
