Full Window Display

Today, our Visual Merchandising class ended.

As a last class work, we were to make a full scale window display.

This is what Roberta and I came up with.

Our contemporary window

But I liked Eileen and Ruki's display better. Ruki used her ball gown from last year and they gathered leaves and twigs from the nearby park.

Visual Merchandising

We went to Oswald Sealy and Mei+Picchi today. They have two names but they're in one place. Visual Merchandisers / Installation Artists apparently go to them to buy or rent items for shop windows and exhibitions.

Amazing stuff.  I didn't know they have different kinds of mannequins now, from the traditional to the fibre glass to size zero dynamic mannequins (they're from New York).

Then we went to RMIT's Visual Merchandising Department and I got depressed seeing how they had their own cutting studio and painting studio. They even get their own mentors and they work with different companies like Ray's and Country Road which gives students the opportunity to work with industry people while still studying.

Oh well. I'll just keep on working on my thing.
