Working with Lighting Designer, Petter Skramstad, PRG have provided an innovative lighting system to feature at the Topman/BFC show for Family Productions.As part of London Collection Men’s Fashion week, Topman’s show took place at The Old Sorting Office in New Oxford Street.

The space featured a creative curved design with a 100m catwalk that weaved around the venue, designed by 42 Architects. PRG’s Loz Wilcox, provided over 100 Chromlech Jarag fixtures, which in a break from their traditional use as a dynamic eye candy effect, were suspended above the catwalk and used as the primary lighting fixture for the collection. The luminaires were suspended from a piece of custom rolled barrel stipulating the line of the catwalk around the venue.

Continuing with the curved theme, the walls surrounding the audience were bespoke backlit cycloramas using 36 x ColorBlaze 48’s and 77 x Pixelline 1044’s, creating different ambience for the various designers by changing the colour of the walls.

Lighting Designer, Petter Skramstad commented, “The Jarags provided a punchy directional light source which due to the size of the fixture and the clustering of the bulbs, actually becomes a fairly soft light source. Being tungsten is also a benefit for photography.

Having control of every bulb allowed us to use some dynamic effects across the fixtures for walk-in states and the beginning and end of shows.
