Drop your perception

A fashion show which toured over the UK last year in the hopes for society to begin dropping their perception on ‘fixed gender’ clothing. A range of people of all ages and races took part in the show to showcase this idea.

Today I have met up with Reece, who took part in the show, to gain an insight into the behind the scene action. Lets Take a look at what he thought of the show.

1.How did you hear about the show?

I was asked to be a model from my dancing studio (Danceworks / CEM)

2. Why did you want to take part in the show?

I thought it was something different that I have never done before so I thought id give it ago.

3. How did you prepare for the show?

The clothes was already selected for us by the team. Other then that it was just fittings and rehearsals the night before the show.

4. What was your favourite part about taking part ?

I would have to say it would be trying on different styles of clothing that I wouldn’t normally pick out for myself. Including “woman” clothes. I would happily buy from a “woman” clothes shop for myself.

5. What was the main focus/message of the show ?

The main focus about the show was to open the public eye about gender natural. If you like the clothes that maybe the opposite sex then wear it! DITCH THE LABEL!

6. Is it something you would take part in again ? If so, why ?

Yes it is something I will take part in again. I have already been asked to do the shows for the Spring / Summer & Autumn / Winter. It’s just something different and fun to be apart of.

7. What was your favourite look of the show ?

I would have to be the blue blazer, mustard jumper and skinny white jeans. I can confirm that this outfit was complete woman.
