Van Mildert Fashion Show: Meet the Models

Every one of them is a masterpiece


With the season of charity fashion shows upon us, Van Mildert are showing the creative side of fashion in aid of Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, which provides help for families with children in need of healthcare.

This year Mildert’s fashion show presents ‘Masterpiece’, devoted to showcasing looks inspired by “artistic movements spanning various eras: cubism, futurism, classical and renaissance art, and others” the assistant director Marianna Mukhametzyanova told us.

By holding no auditions to select the 126 models taking to the stage on March the 11th, Van Mildert “aims to prove that everyone can be a masterpiece, in this multi-faceted and inclusive take on fashion”, according to Marianna.

In addition to the theme reflecting the emphasis on creativity, Van Mildert students will be constructing the clothing for some of the walks, with “visual arts provided by various artists and students, and photo-shoots encapsulating artistic concepts, whether that be musical or fine art”.

Here are the models readying themselves for the catwalk, with pictures by Alex Hayes.
