On the very first day Team Sapphire was formed, we were presented with a major project – Project Runway’08. This project was to coincide with the National Day celebrations and it was a necessity to base our masterpieces on the two themes of ‘Uniquely Singapore’ together with the ‘Youth Olympics 2010’. The two essential tasks at hand were to hand make a beautifully eye-catching costume for a selected model of our group, who would be parading on the T-stage during the fashion show for all to view, and also to construct a poster showing the rationale behind the costume design. The deadlines to be met were the 1st and 8th of August respectively.
Within the brief span of twenty minutes allocated to us that afternoon, several ideas were enthusiastically contributed and we hastily managed to churn out an overall costume design linked closely to the two themes.
Of course, this artistic sketch couldn’t have been completed without Sheela, the artist of Team Sapphire.
Back at home, Michael, the team’s Creative Director, worked hard on the preliminary designs of the earrings. Six possible ones were displayed soon after for all of us to vote for, with the majority in favour of the first design.
Because the earrings had to be striking, David came up with the brilliant idea of using leftover golden ‘Ferrero Rocher’ chocolate wrappers as a coating for the earrings. That night, poor Michael finished twelve whole chocolates on his own and his throat became sore. Thank you for your noble sacrifice!
