Hidden Figures is an Event Management project run by Year 3 PR project management students (Jan/Mar 2017) under the Department of Communication (DoC). FI8GURES, as the team is called, aiming to serve as a platform for fashion to be showcased by students and staffs on campus as well as boosting self-confidence. This totally changes the perception of the fashion shows that we usually see on television, magazines or even Fashion Week showcases.
As this is my very first fashion show on campus, dressing up for the big night to impress is kinda hard. After much thought, I decide to wear my go-to white lace dress, a pair of Pazzion flats and a Sherini and Shentel headband to complete the whole look. I hand my tickets to my course mates and it's off to have some cakes and chocolate to satisfy the cravings in my tummy. Along the corridor, they photo booths, calligraphy writing and glitter face painting.
I'm joined by Aloysius, Raphael, Yu Qi and Co for the big night. We have lots of fun at the photo booth. Doors are opened at 6.50pm, all the guests are given the green light to make their way to the Art Gallery. I'm about to sit at the back seat but I'm informed that I have a "special seat" in the front row. Wow! Luckily, I'm small in size which is easier for me to make my through the walkway.
With opening remarks from the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wilkinson, let the show begin! "Mums and Dads" and "Artistic" are the first two collections. Next up, we have performances by Alix and poem by Amelia.
The second part is Marvel Bounding and Rocker Chic Street Style. Well I'm not a fan of Marvel but I do love the collection! It's time to get lucky with the first session of lucky draw- a set of necklace and earrings from JY Trendy House. The second performance is from poet Pavithrah and a dance performance from L'Queen.
We have a sharing session from Ms. Lisa, who has been designing clothes from extra fabrics to turn them into something out of extraordinary. Why need to buy, when we can elevate and create our fashion by recycling fabrics? It's sustainable fashion! Before the final performance, a final walk from the models showcasing their styles one last time. My favourite performance of the event is from Penny who perform two songs- Never Enough by The Greatest Showman and Diamonds by Rihanna.
At the end of the show, we have closing remarks from event director himself, Ezac. Through the event, the team hopes that everyone will love themselves for who they are and be confident in ourselves each and every day. I could say that one part that I love about my body is my eyebrows because they have this natural curve.
After the show, it's the after-party! I have a catch up with one of the performers, Penny, she introduces me to her guitarist Wei Keat, as well as her friends. Endless photo sessions with the organising committees and the models are the best way to end the night. We have to be confident in our skin, it's not on the outside but what's more important is on the inside- the true us, who are the real hidden figures.
