After researching for my up and coming designer I decided on Gogo Graham, a transgender designer who's target market is transgender women. A large part of this project is to design a politically driven event for the designer. Graham uses trans models for his work and so this is the political viewpoint that I am going with for my event.
For my event I need to think about location. I was looking at water and how when light is reflected onto it, it creates a rainbow projection. The flag of the LGBTQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Asexual) community is a rainbow and so I thought that this would be a really interesting location idea to look into. I started looking at hotel swimming pools with interesting lighting and aesthetics however I then had to think about budget and how going down this route could become very expensive. So I looked into outdoor lidos. I found one called the Hampton Pool in London which looked perfect. Once the sun beds, children's slides and lifeguard tower were moved it provided the perfect canvas for my event. Next to the pool was a small field, usually used in the day for an extra lounging area, however for my event it would be used for food and drink and socialising throughout the event. A DJ would be set up here providing guests with an atmosphere that they wouldn't want to leave.
My event will be held in the evening with lights shining into the pool creating the desired rainbow colours. Glow sticks of the rainbow spectrum will be gifted to the guests as well as placed in transparent balloons in and out of the pools.
Casting will not be an expensive issue as we would use Graham's usual models which are friends of his. The models will surround the pool, sitting on the edge with dangling feet into the pool, with a few in the pool on inflatable sun loungers.
