Poster for The Glasgow Masters Series exhibition with contributions from GSA Archives, at 134 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, 05 Oct 2013-13 Oct 2013

A number of the GSA fashion shows were filmed and some of these films are held by GSA Archives and Collections, namely the films for 1978, 1982, 1984, 1985 and 1986. These show models on the stage plus in some cases backstage footage and/or stills, and the audience arriving at the venue. For four of the films held by GSA Archives and Collections, the soundtracks have been incorporated at the editing stage and reflect the songs played at the show.

This item is an identification key showing each student depicted in the photograph on the poster under the reference number GSAA/EPH/10/204. It was created by Katie Hawson who was a volunteer at The Glasgow School Of Art Archives and Collections in 2013. Eddie Stewart, a former painting and printmaking tutor at the school helped Katie to identify each individual.

This film comprises both the 1982 and 1984 fashion show films. The only exception is that the instrumental section with no images, at the end of the 1984 film, is not included here. For more details please see GSAA/AV/1/2 for the 1982 film and GSAA/AV/1/3 for the 1984 film. A short clip of this film is available online at https://vimeo.com/channels/504825/videos. To view the full length film, please contact GSA Archives and Collections.
