White Light takes a turn on the catwalk for Feng Chen Wang
Recently one of the
world’s highest profile fashion events returned to the capital for London Fashion
Week Men’s autumn-winter 2020 showcase. As a seasoned technical production
specialist for fashion, White Light (WL) was appointed by K2 London to deliver lighting,
audio, rigging and power distribution for Feng Chen Wang’s catwalk
show.
Taking place at
Ambika P3, the brief for the catwalk presentation called for a very specific
lighting effect. WL’s Senior Account
Manager, Dom Yates explains: “Working in an industrial blank-canvas venue, we
collaborated closely with Lighting Designer Tupac Matir to achieve something really innovative with the lighting effects,
reflecting the show’s ‘Hope of Dawn’ concept. Our team, led by WL
Project Manager Tom Cass, built a rig including 65 SGM P5 units and 56 ETC
Source 4s. Having recently invested in a significant stock of LED Astera Titan
Tubes, we were also able to utilise over 50 of these to line the catwalk. The solution served to heighten the theatricality
while also enhancing the photography of the show.”
Kim Carbonari at K2 London adds: “White Light have supported Karla Otto/K2 for many years bringing technical expertise to our varied event productions including fashion shows and luxury presentations. We consider White Light very much part of our core team who deliver excellent results.”
