\f0\fs26 \cf0 To introduce myself, I am the Catwalk Proffesor. My job is to actually train
the girls the true meaning of walking the runway and the correct way of displaying the
garment.\ Today actually is the closing of the London
Fashion Week and we have three designers lined you. Gonna be fantastic. There is no other
show like Ruchard Austin Reece's opening and closing fashion week event. When we see models
on the runway it seems very easy but there is so much work in being a model on the runway,
first of all it has to be the filling up of your confidence because if you don't have
any confidence, you can't be able to walk, you will not display the garment correctly.
So first of all my job, my secret, is building of their confidence letting them believe in
themselves and once I have set that foundation I go about on secret ways of techniques on
how they should display their garments.\ If for example you walk the runway and you
seem very nervous, you don't look comfortable, you can't walk in your heels there is no way
somebody's actually going to look at the garment. You're not going to make the garment look
good. And people are going to be, like, OK. They wouldn't receive the real effect of the
garment. But if you can walk and you have that confidence and you know how to display
the garment it's an advantage.\ I'm going to actually explain to you is ctually
how it goes and first of all is being on the side, the stomach needs to be in, shoulders
out. And relax. The head needs to be up, it can't be like this, it needs to be up. A model
is nothing but the living dead. So - is like a puppet, holding her head and it keeps the
head up. She walks, she walks, she walks.\ There are two types of walk. There is the
American walk and there is teh European walk. The American walk tends to be lots of attitude.
The European walk tends to be very spaced out. There are the pivots. The pivots are
showing the front and the back of a garment. Which is like...\
Then, you keep on walking. There are ways of walking the runway. You can walk with your
head straight. You could walk with your head profile, or you could walk with your head
nodding. Then there is another turn which is the European turn. The European turn is
always going backwards and the pivot is always going frontwards. So the European turn would
be...\ So that the girls could really relate to you
then they catch on quicker than for example just me being a regular guy. showing them.
But if for example I am showing them and displaying this and dressing in this manner to me personally
I think they catch on quicker. You can see it on the runway. Theit confidence just goes
up.\ Oh, the name of my outfit today is Take Me
As I am. All my outfits I give a name. Take Me As I am is a miniskirt, see through top.
So you can see, looking sexy, looking fierce. My heels are clear plastic heels and that's
actually about it. With a scarf as a belt. So instead of using just a regular belt I
decided to use a scarf and just dress it up a little. And a little bow tie.\
Not doing much!\ Once I finish with my fashion events and stuff
like that I go back to the regular person that I am. Which I am proud to be, Mr Francis
Matthew. But this is my image, I am loving my image, I am loving who I am and I'm loving
what I do\ }
