DIRECTOR'S WELCOME
Footsteps are symbolic of FS 2014, appropriate given it’s a fashion show.
Tonight you’ll see approximately 15,000 steps taken on the catwalk, as our
models bring down the curtain on twelve months of coordinated effort
between our 31 committee members, 22 models, the staff at AICR and our
friends and families. Footsteps are symbolic of how we have progressed
over the years. However it is not just about each individual step, rather the
harmony with which those steps have been taken together.
Our creative theme ‘Bright Young Things’ has allowed us to explore and
showcase all that is great about the St Andrews experience, through the eyes
of those who make it.
Within the greater St Andrews journey, FS is simply one of many steps, but
to all those associated we hope the manner in which we have stepped
together culminates in something more powerful than a single moment.
600 years, 21 fashion shows, 15,000 footsteps. It’s about individuals coming
together, one step at a time. Although our moment may last the length
of a breath, we endeavour, together, to create something enduring and
permanent.
Our moment is now and I hope you have a memorable night.
Alastair Ferrans, Director 2013/14
