Suited and Booted Photoshoot

Multiple curriculum areas and student companies came together recently to pull off a fashion photoshoot for Suited & Booted! 

Suited & Booted is SERC’s sustainable fashion initiative aims to reduce the amount of fast fashion produced and going to landfill while providing students with clothes for interviews and work. High quality items of work wear are donated to Suited & Booted by local retailers, eco conscious members of the community as well as staff and students. 

Ran by the Enterprise team, Suited & Booted has grown immensely over the last few years and so, it was time to look at how we managed and showcased our stock. Bring on Project Space! Project Space is a student enterprise from the Computing department, who have taken on the challenge of creating an innovative and more efficient system for Suited & Booted to operate – Suited & Booted’s very own webpage. 

With the technical work on the webpage almost complete, it was time to call on the creatives! SERC Student enterprise, Top Floor Designs from the Digital Content Creation course, set up a professional photoshoot in the studio, ready to photograph the models in Suited & Booted outfits. Students from Hair and Media Makeup followed the client brief to provide glam for the models, and aspiring models and performers (including a few from Project Space!) all came together to execute the creation of content for Suited & Booted’s new site. 

This cross-collaboration project was a huge success and gave students real life experience in the creative industry, as well as working with other disciplines – bringing skills and experience from each vocational area to work towards one goal.
