VS 2020 | Urban: The New Kid On The Block

An exclusive interview with the executive directors of St Andrews’ newest fashion show

What started off as a few house parties and a love of hip hop music has now evolved into a fully-fledged fashion show ready to debut next semester.  VS 2020 | Urban is looking to be one of the most anticipated events coming up next year, yet many students don’t even know how the show came about, what it represents, or what they can expect to see.  In a small town where fashion shows seem to roll around every weekend, VS is sure to be a standout against the shows we’re used to, such as FS, Don’t Walk, and CatWalk. I had the recent pleasure of interviewing its two executive directors, Dominic Reynolds and Sagar Sharma to get a more in-depth story of how VS was founded and what we can look forward to in the upcoming show.

Dominic explained VS was first and foremost jump-started through “the love of hip hop music, which is underrepresented in the town despite being a major genre of music with immense popularity.”  As a result, VS “started out pretty underground with just a couple of house parties,” before the idea of starting a fashion show was even born. Dominic and Sagar realised that the house parties they started organising attracted all different types of people connecting through the same music, allowing VS to connect with other events, such as Sitara, getting more people involved, and then branching out from the house party and music scene.

The fashion we can expect at the show is all about streetwear, which Dominic hopes can “provide something that people can actually wear and relate to,” in comparison to other fashion shows which display more high-end fashion that isn’t really catered to students.  The show is aiming to focus on both music and fashion, using New York as an inspiration. I asked why New York was the focus of the show, and Dominic and Sagar explained that there was “Lots of New York influence from members of the team,” and that it is “a cool city, cool culture…and we wanted to incorporate that in.”  Not only has New York been an inspiration, but so have other cities like London that have a major underground streetwear culture. So far, I believe the incorporation they are trying to achieve has been flawless. A few weeks ago, I also attended the VS launch and it really did feel like the combination of music, clothes, diverse models, and displays were reminiscent of downtown New York.

So what exactly can people expect at the show?  Sagar explained that the show would be similar to the launch, but on a far grander scale – “Ten times bigger,” in fact.  Dominic said the team hopes that the show’s effect will “transport students out of a microcosm, taking people out of the Bubble that is St Andrews.”  The whole essence of the show is meant to celebrate hip hop music, fashion, and different people getting involved from different social circles in a “completely immersive urban experience,” according to Sagar.

Of course, no event in St Andrews goes without its challenges, especially in its first year.  Dominic stated that the most challenging aspect of putting on the show is the “pivot from house parties to a full-blown show.”  The team is quite extensive, with 28 members and 16 models, and many others getting involved, from dressers to photographers. Despite the challenge of coordinating with so many people, both Sagar and Dominic agreed that this has also been the most enjoyable part.  Dominic recalled that the team is “one big community or family,” and one of the most rewarding parts has been the social aspect and getting to know his peers. Furthermore, Sagar explained, “We absolutely love what we do…to be apart of the forefront [of the show] and getting the opportunity to serve people in a big way.”  In fact, the proceeds of the show will be going to its partner charities such as Choose Love Help Refugees  (international) and Whiteley’s Cancer Retreat (local).  Not only will VS be a great experience but “we’re also doing it for a great cause,” explained Dominic.

Personally, VS 2020 | Urban is the show I am most excited to experience this academic year.  Both Dominic and Sagar agree that they’re “really excited, because it’s something completely new with so many people working towards it.”  Based upon my experiences at the launch, I know I can expect big things from VS in spite of the fact that it is the first year the show is being put on.  VS has enjoyed much success despite being relatively new, and I’m sure that its focus on music, streetwear culture, and fashion will bring people together in more ways than one.

  1. Good blog post. Some tips i would like to make contributions about is that personal computer memory is required to be purchased when your computer is unable to cope with that which you do with it. One can add two RAM boards containing 1GB each, by way of example, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should look for the manufacturer’s documentation for own PC to be certain what type of storage is essential.

  2. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  11. Understanding the complex world of chronometers
    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Switzerland testing agency that attests to the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC certification is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands pursue COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary demanding standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, achieving comparable accuracy.

    The Science of Precision Timekeeping
    The core system of a mechanical watch involves the mainspring, which delivers energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external elements that may impact its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests measure:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation rates, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For timepiece enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of tech but a proof to enduring excellence and precision. It represents a timepiece that:

    Provides outstanding dependability and precision.
    Provides assurance of quality across the entire construction of the timepiece.
    Is apt to maintain its worth better, making it a smart choice.
    Famous Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Record and Soul, which showcase COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with cutting-edge substances like silicon balance suspensions to improve durability and efficiency.

    Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The concept of the chronometer dates back to the need for accurate timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for evaluating the accuracy of luxury timepieces, sustaining a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an visual selection; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC certification offers peace of mind, guaranteeing that each certified watch will function reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-validated timepieces stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a tradition of meticulous timekeeping.
