La Redoute "Fashion on Station"
Date: 6th – 13th March 2004
Venue: Zurich and Bern, Switzerland
Concept
‘Spontaneous fashion to grab the traveller’s attention’. The fashion company La Redoute proposed a very unusual and refreshing fashion show: Spontaneous and amusing fashion ‘episodes’ which alternated on three different locations in the main train-stations of Zurich and Bern. Groups of 4 models displayed clothes for intervals of 15 minutes. In order to change location easily and to allow the change of outfits, they created twelve colourful changing cubicles on wheels. The event was a great spectacle.
For this special show I only selected dancers, actors, singers, clowns… I needed theatrical models with a strong personality and an ability to improvise.
We created three different groups in order to show the diverse clothes assortment of La Redoute:
