Fashion Show

On Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th of November we held our school fashion show in the Celbridge Manor Hotel.  There were loads of students involved in the making of the show and the performances. There were clothes from over 14 shops on show during the fashion show.There was also a Debs wear and a Wedding wear section.  The clothes were modelled by students from St Wolstans, students from Salesians college and teachers.There were also performances by the glee club, irish dancers, ballerinas and the choir. I was a model and modelled clothes from 'United Colours of Bennetton' and 'Born'. It was really fun to get up on the catwalk and model the clothes and was definitely an experience I will remember for a long time. The day of the fashion show, TYs got to go to the Celbridge Manor to paint the catwalk and to set up the room. We painted the stage and fixed up the mannequins that had been used in the last fashion show in 2007. The fashion show was also an opportunity for TY mini companies to sell their products. We were allowed to set up our stalls in the hotel and sell our product to the audience during the interval. The show began at 8 o'clock and everyone was extremely nervous before the show on the first night. People were running around the room touching up their makeup, fixing their hair, practicing dance moves and doing vocal warm ups, it was crazy! Backstage was just as hectic, everyone was trying to change into their outfits before they were called on stage. The second night was less mad because everyone was prepared and knew what to expect. In the end the nerves were worth it because it was a great show and everyone enjoyed it immensely. I think the teachers enjoyed it just as much as the students if not more! Most teachers modelled an outfit and they even did a group dance while wearing colourful wigs.
