After Party...

The official Leeds Rag Fashion Show 2011 after party will be held at Tequila - expect the standard wonderfully cheap drinks, an excellent party atmosphere and beautiful models swanning about all over the place. What more could you want on a night out? Remember that if you buy your Tequila after party tickets from the RAG Fashion Show table in the union, money from each ticket goes to our brilliant charities - Action for Children and Yorkshire Cancer Centre.

And if your planning to have a messy after after party post-Tequila madness you might wanna take a look at our main sponsors, Cleaning4Students - http://cleaning4students.co.uk/. For a cheap rate they'll have your house sparkling in no time while you sleep off the hangover...

We are love-love-loving...

LONDON FASHION WEEK: The capital city is so excited about the RAG Fashion Show 2011 that they went ahead and organised a couple of shows at Somerset House in the build up... We have particularly enjoyed Georgia Hardinge, Matthew Williamson and John Rocha so far - and we can't wait to see what Burberry Prorsum and Giles have in store for us this afternoon! The trends seem to be leather, leather, leather, a continuation of S/S '11's colour pop and plenty of sheer panelling - divine.

DANCE EXPOSE: Their show last week was undeniably immense and we are proud to announce that they will playing a part in our very own extravaganza this Thursday... definitely not to be missed!

THE VARSITORIALIST: http://www.varsity.co.uk/fashion/varsitorialist/stylehunter - our new favourite daily go-to blog... we love streetstyle and will be keeping our eyes peeled for our faves on campus this week! Impress us and you could be papped!

KANYE WEST:


His new album is making us feel like we can do anything and this video is a definite nod towards the RAG Fashion Show!

!NEWS FLASH!

The RAG Fashion Show 2011 is literally days away and we could not be more excited! The committee, models and support team have all been working incredibly hard to make sure that we bring you nothing short of an absolutely astounding show!

On Saturday two of our gorgeous charitable models ran 50km in an unbelievable 5 hours... thats more than a marathon!!! And all to raise money for our two wonderful charities, Yorkshire Cancer Centre and Action for Children. A fantastic effort and a guarantee that they will be looking buff come Thursday night (and maybe still feeling a bit sore!)

WELCOME!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to our Fashion Show 2011 BLOG! We can confirm that it is exactly 46 DAYS until SHOW DAY!!! Wow – that really isn’t very long. We just pulled priceless faces, well Cat’s was priceless so I am sure, from her laugh, that mine was too!
So, with just 46 days to go we are in full swing with the promo video being shot in 2 weeks, our photoshoot taking place in a few days and everyone on the committee running round like ‘controlled’ headless chickens! Our social lives have been reduced to our RAG FASHION SHOW COMMITTEE thread on facebook – WE LOVE IT!

What should you expect from this year’s show??? A night of pure entertainment, filled with fashion, dance, and music! Make sure you take some time to look at our busy calendar – We hope to see you at our Model Launch Party in Warehouse on Monday 31st January – guestlist for everyone at a reduced price of £4 with drinks deals and £1 of every ticket sold going to our charities. Just say our name, RAG FASHION SHOW 2011! Our Pub Quiz Night on Sunday 23rd January at Hyde Park Social Club and our Ladies Night on Tuesday 1st February and our Auction of Promises on Thursday 10th February are not to be missed.
Oh, and, don’t forget to buy roses for that special someone in the lead up to Valentine’s Day in the foyer of the union!

With such a busy calendar we mustn’t forget our reasons for putting on the show and every event leading up to it. This year we are supporting two fantastic charities: Yorkshire Cancer Centre and Action for Children. We decided to choose one local and one national charity, however, both charities do work on a local scale. More information on these charites can be found on our snazzy website along with information about the show, our sponsors, the shops involved, and our own Leeds University designers.

This year we are aiming to RAISE OVER £7,000 for our two charities! We welcome your support and hope you enjoy the lead up to the show – fashion week is just around the corner!!!

Keep your eyes peeled for further stories about the show from the rest of the committee and one or two more from us!

For now we leave you with something to look forward to: the revealing of our theme… watch this SPOT!

Big love



Cat and Emma
Directors
