Glowing skin from a carefully applied face mask?
Check. Silky smooth legs? Check. Suitably buff from bench pressing? Oh yes! It’s
fair to say that our models are primed. They are ready. But in a House of Chaos…not
everything is at seems. Have a sneak
peak at our video to see what I mean. …

Hallowed Halls of Discovery
While ordering my coffee this morning, I spotted
last year’s Fashion Show director Rob Kenny who I quickly accosted. I wanted to
ask him about Mary-Kate Murray, one of the models participating in the show this
year. Was it true that Mary-Kate was discovered by Rob walking through the
halls of DIT after a lecture?
Rob, who is acting as a mentor this year, confirmed
that was exactly how he discovered Mary-Kate. “With her strong bone structure,
elongated legs and long hair, she is exactly the kind of model I could imagine
on a runway in Milan” stated Rob. High
praise indeed for Mary-Kate, who has never modelled before.
Having spoken to Mary-Kate at the model’s rehearsal
this week, she informed me that she is excited about the Show and naturally,
looking forward to seeing the garments! Plus, she says she has met a great
group of people in her fellow models.
Mary-Kate is pictured below with another one of our
models, the dashing David O’Boyle.

The Time is Nigh!
“Rectangle…now, triangle”. No people, I wasn’t
sitting in maths class trying to solve Pythagoras’ theorem, I was listening
to the Vodafone DIT Fashion Show choreographer and mentor, Shireen McDonagh,
give instructions to our models at their rehearsal last night. April 17 is fast
approaching and I took this opportunity to talk to Shireen about what she
expects of the models participating in the show.
“Dedication and understanding they are part of a
team is essential” she commented. Acknowledging that it can of course be
difficult for the models to meet up all the time, Shireen particularly admires
the “level of commitment” displayed by our models in this year’s show.
Rehearsals started as early as December, and Shireen emphasised the importance of
the models getting to know each other so as to enable them to develop
confidence and feel comfortable with one another.
This is Shireen’s fifth year working with the show
as choreographer and mentor. With each
year that passes, she finds that the standard and willingness of the models
improves. Given that quite a few of our models have been signed up by agencies,
Shireen believes that this show gives a good grounding for any future shows
they may participate in.
The best part of all is that Shireen says she has
never come across a “friendlier or nicer group of people”.
So, it appears that it's not all glamour, but actually a lot of hard work too!

Photo Call at D-light Studios
D-Light Studios was the fantastic photo call location for the Vodafone
DIT Fashion show finalists. As blogger for the show, I lurked around in the
studio, half hoping I might get “discovered”. Alas, I did not. However, I did
get to see our photographer and models in action again.
Photographer Sasko Lazarov captured our finalists’ creations and clearly
transmitted our “House of Chaos: A Twisted Tale” theme through his dramatic
images. Once you see the photos below, you are definitely going to want tickets
to the show. Vicar Street on April 17 is where it’s at, people!
Tickets can be purchased via the following link:
