Alright, so today I’m gonna share something wild I worked on – a “Women of Cults” fashion show. Yeah, you heard that right, cults. Sounds crazy, I know, but stick with me here. It all started when I stumbled upon a really weird but cool idea online about cult fashion and how it’s oddly specific.
First, I hit up some forums and articles to get a general idea of what this whole thing was about. It was a mix of figuring out what cult members usually wear and what kind of vibe they give off. I found out that you either have to be invited by some designers’ press guy or you can actually apply for a ticket yourself if you are lucky enough. It’s not easy, but I was feeling adventurous, so why not?
I decided to go big or go home and aimed for some of the big fashion weeks – think Paris, New York, London. I dug around and found some ticketing services online. Some offered general admission, some front row, pretty standard stuff. But, of course, most of these big shows are invite-only. So, I found some smaller events and public shows that were part of the fashion weeks, which was a start.
- Contacted event organizers: I emailed and messaged anyone who seemed to be in charge, explaining my project and asking for access. Some ignored me, some were curious, and a few were like, “Sure, why not?”
- Applied for tickets: For some shows, you could apply online. I wrote some pretty convincing applications, highlighting how my project was unique and could bring a different perspective to their show.
- Networked like crazy: I attended a couple of pre-fashion week events, met some people, and talked about my project. You’d be surprised how a good conversation can open doors.
After a lot of back and forth, I managed to get into a few shows. Not the main ones, but hey, it was something! I got to see how these things work from the inside, the chaos, the glamour, everything.
Next, I focused on the actual “Women of Cults” theme. I researched different cults, their history, and especially what the women wore. It was a lot of reading, watching documentaries, and looking at old photos. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just throwing random outfits together. I wanted it to be somewhat accurate, but also fashionable. I started to promote brands that I love and show how I’m already a fan. Also I posted content and tagged them.
Then came the fun part – designing. I sketched out ideas, mixed and matched fabrics, and created outfits that I thought represented the theme. It was a wild ride, let me tell you. Some outfits were flowy and ethereal, others were more structured and uniform-like. It was all about capturing that eerie, cult-like aesthetic.
Finally, I put together a small show of my own. I invited some friends, fellow fashion enthusiasts, and even a few people I’d met during my fashion week adventures. I rented a small space, set up a makeshift runway, and showcased my “Women of Cults” collection.
The reaction was… interesting. Some people loved it, some were confused, and some were probably a bit freaked out. But hey, it sparked conversations, and that’s what I wanted. It was a weird, challenging, but ultimately rewarding project. It pushed me creatively and taught me a lot about the fashion world, persistence, and the power of a really out-there idea.
So, yeah, that’s the story of my “Women of Cults” fashion show. It was a wild ride, but I’m glad I did it. If you’ve got a crazy idea, don’t be afraid to chase it. You never know where it might lead you.
