CLASSROOM RESOURCE

Give your students the Met Gala project to engage them in the fashion event of the year.

The “Met Gala Fashion” project objective is to examine the fashion designs of celebrities and well-known designers attending the Met Gala. It is a fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. This philanthropic event has turned into the fashion event of the year for celebrities and designers. Personnel from all levels of the fashion industry are involved in making the event come to life. The buzz continues days after the event with reviews of who wore what; spotlight looks; and whether the designers really “understood the assignment”.

Students will have the opportunity to share their perspective of the Met Gala looks by:

Watching entertainment shows/events. (homework)
Observing themed fashion designs. (homework)
Researching the looks. (homework)
Reporting on your findings in the template provided. (classwork/project)

COMING SOON...

Although I've detoured from the "Mastering the Production" series this week, I still want to remind you that I have a Fashion Show Production course that will available Fall 2024. It will provide a scope of resources to help you create and implement a successful fashion show. It's something I've wanted to do for years because a fashion show has so many moving parts. And of course, when you're managing students who are responsible for implementing the show, it really is a project management responsibility.

The program will contain:

Video and audio modules
Project management framework
Propriety documents for management in all areas
Signature model call framework
An outline for creating your Fashion Show Bible
Media kit framework
Real examples from my productions
Highlights of my student-led fashion shows and more.
