BEHIND THE SCENES: the
cover shoot
This entire project has been about taking student involvement to a whole new level, and the day of the cover shoot was no exception. Our styling efforts involved the collaboration of Cheryl Bercier, Katie Gingerich and Candice Turner, along with
some expert advice from our mentors and Program Coordinators, Pauline Ashworth and Antonietta Perretta. The inspiration for the shoot? A subtle twist on debunking the myth that 2012 was the end of the world; in fact, for the 2012 graduating class of Humber’s Fashion Arts program, it is all about keeping it fresh and new, with an explosion of talent. Bringing in Humber Alumni to participate in this shoot was an amazing way to showcase Humber College’s involvement in shaping the future of so many. Photography graduate Adamo De Pax, turned Fashion and Beauty Photographer, helped bring our vision to life while Fashion Arts graduate Marina Laswick, turned Professional Model, brought beauty and poise. Sarah Amaro, Spa Management Graduate turned Humber Lab Instructor, and first year Cosmetics student Sarah West-Carrick used sleight of hand to create makeup and hair looks that embodied the whole concept. From beginning to end Humber gave us the tools we needed to create images worthy of any top fashion magazine, and an unforgettable way to commemorate Humber’s debut edition of INFUSE.
THE FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE
f
ashion, it is said, started with couturiers and has since evolved into what we know
it as today, a multi-billion dollar industry. For me this industry really started with two words. Fashion week.
While volunteering a few years ago I had made a few good friends; one of which now needed my help. A famous designer from her home country of Germany had been invited to show at Toronto Fashion Week. Arriving just two days before the show and being in Toronto for the first time, a friend and I were called upon to assist the designer of LaLaBerlin unpack, organize, and steam all 31 looks, coordinate models, organize the show sequence, and offer support during the show. After 30 hours of work in two days, the show had finally come. Backstage hearts were racing as the show was about to start and not a breath was taken for the entire run. And then the finale came. With all lights turned off, the models appeared to glow in the dark due to some very interesting fabric finishes, and the bass began to pump. As the lights slowly began to come on again, I finally exhaled. A tear in my eye was all the justification I needed to know that yes, after volunteering, attending school and excessive magazine reading, I was in the right place. - Anna Roumeliotis
