Jim O'Keeffe outlines his approach to staging a fashion show by combining music, dance and storytelling.
Models dance to 'Word Up' by Cameo as they remove layers of clothes and throw them to the studio audience.
The man behind that fashion show, which was slightly different, was Jim O'Keeffe.
Jim O'Keeffe talks about the ideas behind his fashion shows. He says that plans are made for the shows on Sunday evening after watching 'Glenroe'.
The inspiration for his shows comes from the designers, music, film, clothes, shops, and street fashion. His fashion shows are very different to what people normally see. The objective is to keep the audience interested often through storytelling.
Jim O'Keeffe own outfit is made by Murray, one of the models from the show and a student at the National College of Art.
The end objective of the fashion show is to sell clothes so it needs to have a big impact on the audience.
