Alternative Fashion Week
Are you interested in fashion but think that only the rich
and famous can get in to watch a fashion show? Are you
a young designer with lots of ideas but nowhere to show
them? Then Alternative Fashion Week is for you. There are
fifteen shows every day and an audience of up to 10,000
people for each one. This means there are opportunities
for everyone.
Alternative Fashion Week takes place in Spitalfields
Market in London. Twenty years ago, Spitalfields was a
poor area and there was nothing to do there. Today it is
one of the most exciting parts of the city, full of galleries
and shops.
Anyone can show their designs during Alternative Fashion
Week. The aim of the show is not to make large amounts
of money or to attract film stars. The aim is to experiment
and take risks. Many young designers work without much
money, using whatever bits and pieces they can find.
However, these low-cost designs are often more exciting
than the designs produced by million-dollar design
studios. Of course, no one wants to stay poor forever and
many designers have used the fashion week as a way of
becoming rich and famous.
It isn’t only the designers who are new. Anyone can apply
to be a model at the shows: the young and the not so
young. The people who are chosen attend a free six-week
modelling course before the show. The organisers of
Alternative Fashion Week are committed to having healthy,
natural-looking models. They don’t want the models to be
too thin, and they believe the ‘size zero’, skinny look is
unhealthy and a bad influence on women and girls.
Finally, Alternative Fashion Week is an environmentally
friendly occasion. Designers are encouraged to use
recycled materials in their designs. They should also use
ethically sourced materials. These are materials which are
produced by people who are paid well and looked after by
their employers, not just in Britain but wherever they are in
the world
