La Belle Epoch

Just what is this fashion show about?
La Belle Epoch was characterized by extravagance. By this time, Europe was enjoying spoils from the colonies. There were new things coming in. Fad changed very fast. Clothing and lifestyle had to keep up. Basically, the Edwardians and Late Victorians of this era lived in luxury.

La Belle Epoch Fashion Show is a fashion show of love for our pets and to show our love with games and presents. So, pet parents, we live in a luxurious era where anything and everything is at our beck and call. And we share this with our beloved pets. As much as we love to dress up, we love to dress up our pets.

Catwalk Modeling

Notice that there's a different gait in runway modeling. Blame it on 6 inch heels. But if you can only walk on 3 inches of heels, let's not force 6.

Catwalk modeling is tricky. You have to capture the look while walking. Here are some easy steps on how to achieve a good walk while looking good on the runway.

You will need: a lost strait place to walk in, your most comfortable heels, the least comfortable heels, a tall portable mirror.

Set up: At the end of your long strait practice place, put the mirror in the end.

Step 1: Wear your lest comfortable shoes. Face it, when it looks so good, it doesn't mean it feels good on your feet.
Step 2: Start walking in a strait line from top to bottom then pose in front of the mirror. While walking, you will notice how you look from a distance. That's how people will see you. At the end of the walk, you must know how to project.
Step 3: Practice Establishing your poses. When a show director tells you to Establish on a spot, they mean give 3 superb looks. So, try to establish at the beginning of the runway, at the middle then in the end.
Step 4: Give your feet a break but you still need to practice. Put on comfy heels and start walking again. Doing this five times a day will not only give you ample exercise but practice on runway walking.

ATTITUDE WALK

Not a Pro???

Well, don't worry. As much as I've been a designer, I've also done some amateur ramp modelling.

We are here to help each other out. I'll help you out to build your confidence as well as to build your portfolio. As earlier mentioned, we are not looking for perfect model materials. We are looking for the fun and whimsical everyday people who can shine in a runway.

Our shows this year are not always about Lolitas. They can cross-over to High Fashion and Avant Gaarde. So, put on some heels and start waking in a straight line!

See you all on the fitting date.
