(APPLICATION AND IMPORTANT DATES BELOW)
PURPOSE
The purpose of Franklin Fashion is to allow artistic students to showcase their work, get awards, get experience, and start promoting their talents for the real world while putting together a portfolio for top arts and design schools. The Franklin Fashion 2020 Show will be a fundraiser hosted by the Tri-M Music Honor Society and Band & Orchestra department.
All contestants will receive certificates, recommendation letters for art schools/universities, digital and printed photo portfolios, and event video. The top three models and designers will receive special awards.
All participants must pay the $50 application and processing fee and provide us with 1 high quality head shot and a short biography.
MODELS
Any student applying to be a model must present 5 photos (in 5 different outfits of their choosing). One head shot is required. The 5 photos should demonstrate different garments, hair styles, and make ups. Different styles would be appreciated. Wigs and accessories are acceptable.
MAKE-UP ARTISTS AND HAIR STYLISTS
Any student/parent who has experience with make-up and/or hair can be a make-up artist or hair stylist. Makeup artists and hairstylists will be provided copies of the photos and videos from the show for their own portfolios. All makeup artists and hairstylists must provide 5 photos of their work along with the head shot and biography.
PHOTOGRAPHERS & PHOTO SHOOT
As marketing and talent-promotion are major parts of the fashion and modeling industries, one of our biggest goals is to help all of our contestants to create and contribute to their personal portfolios. This gives the photographers a crucial role in this experience. Photographers must provide 5 photos of their work, 1 head shot and a short biography. The 5 photos must be of people, and should aim to demonstrate 5 different styles.
The photo shoot will take place the week before the fashion show as a means to have photos ready for judges to have as a resource for better decision-making while scoring, and as a means to make sure each line is completed and ready to go in time for the show.
The photo shoot will take place the first week of April.
PORTFOLIO GALLERY
All photos and designers sketches will be used for brochures, programs, and the Portfolio Gallery at the entrance of the gym. Printed and digital copies of the photos will be provided for are participants.
JUDGES
We will provide 3 judges to score the designers’ work, and 3 separate judges to judge the models. Judges will have a rubric of 10 items to critique. Each item will receive score from 1-10. All points will be calculated out of 300 points. A first place, second place, and third place will be chosen for both the designer category and modeling category.
Parent Volunteers may sign up to be a judge, but must have NO relation to any of the contestants. Volunteer experience and/or knowledge of fashion and design would be great!
