The Prize Giving

Every year Hand and Lock have a design and embroidery competition for students and open to the public.
The brief changes but its all about combining embellishment, bead work, gold work and textures into a garment.

As an intern we are all expected to help set up the hall, the garments, welcome the guests and make sure the event runs smoothly.

I had already taken part in the invites, finding the addresses and sealing the envelopes.
In the morning of the event we were all given a time table run by the second and where we would be.

First step was to get the very tall and heavy flowers into the taxi and get them to Bishopsgate!


    Next task was to make up all the goodie bags, what you see here is actaully organised chaos. We had to make over 150 bags and set up the tables getting it all looking presentable and leave ourselves enough time to get changed and ready before guests arrive.         The hall is all set up and ready for the guests to arrive, all the gowns are on the manakin's and everything has been pressed and looking sharp.My tasks for the evening was to welcome guests at the front table, give out the voting cards and explain how it works. Then towards the end of the night go and collect them all back in so that they can be counted.  

 

  These are my two favourite designs and the two that I voted for.
 
  

  
The prize giving, and the winning design.
