Bandit Lites has again supplied lighting and rigging kit to the British Fashion Council (BFC) Tent main venue at London Fashion Week.
The tent was pitched in the grounds of the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, and hosted over 20 shows from a number of major international designers. The BFC tent also staged the final of reality TV series, Project Catwalk.
The 30m catwalk had to be lit completely evenly and at the same levels all the way along, primarily for photographers and broadcast cameras.
Bandit's first job onsite was flying a 124 x 40 ft mother grid in the tent. This then had three Litebeam trusses 'threaded' lengthways through it from which the lights were hung. New this year was a centre truss to the two traditional outside ones, erected after requests in the past to try and avoid illuminating the front row of the audience during shows.
The runway was lit with a total of 160 Source Four fixtures, including pars and profiles, with every lens option on the profiles from 5 to 36 degrees as well as zooms. Some shows also had extra lighting and effects, all of which were dealt with by lighting designer Simon Tutchener and his crew.
The busiest day in the BFC tent was the Tuesday commencing the whole London Fashion Week event.
The first of four back-to-back shows was Paul Costelloe, which needed a neon frame rigged in entrance way. This was stripped down for the Ashley Isham show that followed directly afterwards, featuring two petal confetti drops, and entailing two large confetti blowers to be rigged above the catwalk between the shows.
These were then de-rigged for the Michiko Koshino show, for which they had to rig hundreds of feet of festoon lighting and add cosmetic rouge gel to all the back row of lamps for a rose tint.
This all then came out, and the rig underwent a complete colour change for the last show by fashion designer Amanda Wakeley.
