Sarah Janssen Back of House Co-Producer Current Accomplishments Beginning Fall Quarter, the class worked on the foundations of the Fashion Show and its various components. By the end of the quarter, positions were established for which each person was to focus their attention on come Winter Quarter. When Winter Quarter came, the class delved into their specific tasks. The Back of House primarily worked on finding designers and communicating with them to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, it was challenging to communicate with them for various reasons yet now the Back of House team can ascertain that there are enough garments to run the show. Sarah and the rest of the team were able to pull a list of designers together as well as consider graduated students to be a part of the fashion show. Aside from remaining in contact with the designers, Sarah has been able to overlook the process of collecting garments and starting the necessary fittings. Dates have been set for future fittings, judging, and the day of the fashion show itself. Upcoming Tasks Although this is only the halfway mark, there is still much to be accomplished. Sarah along with Saasha has determined what needs to be carried out from here. The extended deadline for garments is February 6th and the class anticipates having our final count by February 8th. Sarah will be there to receive garments and collect quotes from designers who have not already provided them. On February 7th, Terri will be seeing over the garments to establish a good order for the show and to note any changes that need to be made. Sarah will be present to take notes, which she will then put into the Back of House binder in an organized matter. On Friday the 8th, judges will be present to judge the garments accordingly. Sarah will be there to make sure the process runs smoothly and that the judging panel has their needs met. Lauren, our Dressing Room manager, will be there to take pictures so she can log them in the Look Book. From then on, designers will be able to check out their garments so they can add and/or make changes to their garments. Sarah and Saasha are working on preparing a Back of House Kit as well as meeting with Wanda to have a run through of Back of House tasks.
