  • Walking Away from the Runway
    Walking Away from the Runway Thesis – One Year Master Textile Manage ment Christina Christodoulou Year: 2015. Thesis id number: 2015.11.06 Acknowledgements I would like to wholeheartedly thank my supervisor David Goldsmith for his guidance and knowledge and most of all for his positive spirit. Also, I would like to thank my parents who really supported me the whole year with their love under any circumstances. Thanks to the designers who accepted to participate in my group discussion and enlightened my thesis with their ideas. Lastly, the paper is dedicated to my favourite uncle that I lost during the master thesis. He was a smiley person who loved to be educated. English title: Walking Away from the Runway Year of publication: 2015 Author/s: Christina Christodoulou Supervisor: David Goldsmith Abstract Fashion shows in a common western context were focused on the garments that were presented. Albeit, the latest decades a shift has been observed from what is presented to how it is presented to the audiences. Particular designers are the leaders of this evolution. Does this phenomenon imply something long term for the fashion system and how fashion is displayed? The purpose of the research is to inquire into the metamorphosis of the runway presentations from the expected status quo to new forms. The compass of this exploration is an observation about fashion shows in retrospect and a focus group discussion with fashion designers master students from the Swedish School of Textiles. It contributes an insight into designers’ approach towards fashion presentations, yet it is used as tool to enable them illustrate their vision on their future presentations.
