RAG (ICSM): Fashion Show Chair

The ICSM Fashion Show is the most anticipated event every year, and ever since I first stepped onto its stage as a fresher, I knew that this event would be an important part of my time at ICSM. It would be a dream to be your next FS Chair, alongside Tim, and create an unforgettable experience for everyone.

My experiences have given me the skills and attitude for this role. In secondary school, I led a team to organise our own charity fashion show. I helped with booking venues, model coordination, and theme conception while staying timely and transparent. I also helped organise proms and other larger events, teaching me the art of negotiation, promotion, and collaboration; skills that I’ve strengthened through collaborating with brands, such as Amazon and Kitsch, through my personal social media.

Beyond using my unique capabilities in the logistics of FS, Tim and I have a vision: to celebrate diversity and creativity. From brands to choreographers, we want people to have the creative freedom to express themselves without boundaries and show off our diverse community of models and performers.

Another thing we want to prioritise is the long-term sustainability of this event, focusing on brand partnerships by:

  • ⁠ ⁠Promoting brands both before and after the event
  • ⁠ ⁠Prioritising long-term relationships
  • ⁠ ⁠Beginning communication with brands early on

Tim and I are truly passionate about FS and we hope to create the event of a lifetime with everyone as your next Chairs.

Vote Tim and Philippa!
