Paid runway model
2025-01-16 09:17 pmAt the end of november me and Ed were runway models at Historiska Museet in Stockholm, and they paid us for the pleasure. It was the final in a series of after-work activities associated with the temporary display of Medieval Fashion. The display is a collab between Medeltidsmuseet (who are currently out of a show room) and the National History Museum. I helped the seamstress with one garment, finishing off her massive work of creating nine whole outfits with all the layers.
The final after-work activity was Åsa talking about the costumes and the making of them, and then a fashion show with five people in garb. She asked me to bring 16th century, and was enthusiastic when I said I had some male garb as well, so we roped in Ed in his leather jerkin and I wore my Bob-outfit.
Great fun, and delightful to get compensation for it. And my Bob outfit is so comfortable. This is what needs a doublet. The ropilla I am wearing is more of an over-garment. Not very fitted, but gorgeous.
This is Bob
