- My name is Vivian Eyo-Ephraim,

I am a plus size model and student living in London.

So the story of how I got into modeling

is quite interesting because I was with my mum,

she was like why don't you get into modeling

like you do commercials and acting and things like that

and she was like yeah just do it.

I applied to a competition on StarNow that would've

won me a contract with Bridge Models, which it did,

I did win it, so that's how it all started.

So, when I got the email oh you have a casting for ASOS,

I was like (squeals) what do I do, what do I do?

Still the same nerves, but you know I just went there,

did what I usually do, just stand there, do my best,

take my pictures, and be as confident as I can

which I think I did well, 'cause I got it in the end.

The recognition and feedback and the comments and everything

by literally every single person I bump into

or across social media, it's been amazing.

I don't think I have any kinda words to kinda describe

the feeling, but it's an amazing feeling

that I feel inside, honest.

It's also amazing because I see a lot of people that

look like me, a lot of people of color,

people that are plus size, just like I am,

you know say I've seen someone that represents me, finally,

things like that, it's really encouraging to see.

So I would like to work for Sports Illustrated

because I saw somebody I'd look up to on there,

that was Ashley Graham, I thought she did an amazing

job on it and it's just given so many other people like me,

someone to work towards to in terms of showing ourselves

to the world, and on a platform like that as well,

I feel like it's now becoming very inclusive as well,

so that's something that I'd definitely

love to take part in.

So representation is very, very, very, very important,

I can't stress how important it is,

only 'cause there's so many people that, from young ages,

look up to certain people

and certain things that are happening across social media,

across the world, not even social media, just generally.

For me, representation is very important because I've had

so many young people message me to say

oh I wanna be just like you, and I'm just like

oh my God, that's a lot, it's something that needs to

be normalized, so something like this that's happened

via ASOS should be everywhere, so not everyone's

kinda surprised by what's going on, but, it will get better,

I'll just say that, I'm very positive,

so I reckon it will get there.

I would like the modeling industry in the future,

if it was up to me, to be inclusive.

That's the one word I can stress on.

Inclusiveness, there shouldn't be categories as to

plus-size model or normal model, or this model, that model,

I think it should just be that person is a model,

regardless of whatever it is they look like,

what shape it is, what size, how tall, how short they are,

if I had the power to, everyone would be a model. (laughs)

I love Nike, I have like so many, I'm basically,

I'm not endorsed by them but I'd like,

it's an amazing brand.

CCAD 2018 Fashion Show Preview - Duration: 6:24.

MUSIC

>>> THE CCAD ANNUAL FASHION SHOW

IS REALLY THE CULMINATION OF THE

STUDENTS' FOUR YEARS WORTH OF

STUDYING AND THEIR ENTRY INTO

THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL

FASHION DESIGN.

GOT A LITTLE BIT SMALLER GROUP

THIS YEAR.

WE GOT ABOUT 15 STUDENTS, ONE

MASTERS STUDENT.

AND IT'S A REALLY WIDE OF WORK

THOUGH IN THAT 15.

WE'VE GOT SOME MORE CONCEPTUAL

PIECES.

>> I WANT TO MAKE ART THAT'S

WEARABLE.

WELL, I WAS LOOKING FOR AN

UNIQUE FIBER, AN UNIQUE TEXTUAL

SO I WAS THINKING WHAT I WAS

GONNA USE FOR MY THESIS THIS

YEAR, WHAT FABRIC IS GONNA

REALLY INSPIRE ME AND LET'S BE

DIFFERENT AND I LANDED ON HAIR.

FOR MY LINE, FEATURES KANEKALON

HAIR WHICH IS A SYNTHETIC FIBER

THAT'S VERY POPULAR AMONG BLACK

WOMEN.

BEEN USED FOR DECADES AND I

MYSELF WAS BRAIDING WITH THE

HAIR YEARS.

THE ONE THAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT

THIS COLLECTION TOO IS THE

ATTRACTION FROM WOMEN.

I FEEL LIKE WOMEN COME UP TO

THIS COLLECTION, AND YOU KNOW,

INITIALLY IT WAS MOSTLY BLACK

INITIALLY IT WAS MOSTLY BLACK

WOMEN WAS LIKE "I KNOW THAT

HAIR, I'VE USED THAT HAIR."

>> YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY

CONCEPTUAL WORK I THINK PEOPLE

ARE INSPIRED BY AND THEN IT

TRANSLATE INTO WHAT YOU'RE GOING

TO FIND, BUT IT'S REALLY KIND OF

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES AND, YOU

KNOW, MAKING PEOPLE TAKE CHANCES

MAYBE USING UNUSUAL MATERIALS OR

USING REGULAR MATERIALS IN AN

UNUSUAL WAY.

SO, ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO WE

INSTITUTED A JURY PROGRAM.

SO ALL THE GARMENTS ARE JURIED

ABOUT A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS,

INDUSTRY INDIVIDUALS, AND THEY

CHOOSE WHAT'S GONNA BE SEEN ON

THE RUNWAY.

SO, THAT MAKES IT A LOT MORE

COMPETITIVE.

STUDENTS KNOW THAT THE WORK HAS

TO BE AT A CERTAIN LEVEL TO BE

ON STAGE.

WE USUALLY HAVE ABOUT SEVEN AND

NINE JURORS RATE THE GARMENTS

AND SAY IF IT'S IN OR OUT AND

YOU HAVE GET A MAJORITY OF YES

VOTES TO GET THAT GARMENT IN.

>> THIS YEAR THERE WAS ONE

PARTICULAR DESIGNER THAT

COMPLETELY FLOORED ME.

WHEN HER COLLECTION OUT, I MEAN

IT WAS SOMETHING UNIQUE WHICH IS

WHAT I LOOK FOR.

IT WAS SOMETHING JUST

JAW-DROPPING WHEN IT ACTUALLY

CAME ONTO THE RUNWAY.

IT WAS A HUGE STATEMENT.

IT WAS REALLY JUST GREAT.

IT WAS REALLY MY AESTHETIC AS

WELL.

IT'S KIND OF TATTERED BUT AT THE

SAME TIME VERY STRUCTURED WHICH

I THINK IS KIND OF HARD TO

SOMETIMES.

DID NOT LOOK LIKE A DESIGN

STUDENT DID IT.

YOU CAN TELL ALL THE WORK AND

DETAIL THAT WENT INTO IT.

EVEN FROM AFAR, YOU COULD SEE

ALL THE TEXTURES WHICH REALLY

IMPRESSED ME AS SOON AS I SAW

IT.

>> IT'S KNITTING, BUT NOT REALLY

LIKE TRADITIONAL WAY.

I WAS INSPIRED BY BAROQUE AND

ROCOCO TIMES, ARCHITECTURAL --

ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES.

FOR EXAMPLE, THAT ONE, LIKE THE

DRESS, THE BOTTOM PART WAS LIKE

SINGLE STRIPES I KNEAD USING

THAT MACHINE AND THEN I HAND

BRAID THEM TOGETHER AND USE THE

SEWING MACHINE TO ATTACH THEM

TOGETHER.

>> WE HAVE ONE STUDENTS THAT

USED VICTORIA ANNA AND FETISH

WEAR AS INSPIRATION, SO THAT'S

GONNA BE WILD.

WE'VE GOT SOME CHILDREN'S WEAR.

WE'VE GOT TWO GROUPS OF

CHILDREN'S WEAR.

AND ONE OF OUR STUDENTS HAS DONE

ADAPTIVE WEAR FOR CHILDREN SO

THAT'S EXCITING.

>> I WAS BORN WITH AMNIOTIC BAND

SYNDROME, SO MY LEFT ARM DIDN'T

DEVELOP PAST THE ELBOW, SO

LEARNING TO SEW WAS REALLY HARD.

I KIND OF KNEW HOW TO SEW WHEN I

STARTED HERE, BUT JUST BY HAND

OR ON A DOMESTIC MACHINE, BUT I

FEEL LIKE ONE I OVERCAME JUST

LEARNING HOW TO PLACE THE FABRIC

ON THE MACHINE AND HOW TO HOLD

IT DOWN TO THE MACHINE WITHOUT

LOSING IT, ONCE I OVERCAME THAT

IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER.

NOW IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.

BUT, I KNEW THAT THE INDUSTRY

THAT I JUST FELT LEFT OUT BY.

NONE OF MY CLOTHES EVER FIT

RIGHT.

THEY WEREN'T COMFORTABLE, THEY

WEREN'T CUTE.

SO, I WANTED TO CHANGE THAT.

I DECIDED THAT FASHION SHOULD BE

INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYBODY.

SO, I THOUGHT MAYBE IF I WENT

INTO FASHION, IT COULD BE

INCLUSIVE.

SO, I DID ADAPTIVE KID'S WEAR,

SO THAT MEANS EACH OUTFIT IS

ADAPTED TO FIT THE FUNCTION FOR

THE CHILD THAT HAS A SPECIAL

NEED.

SO, THE PIECE THAT BROUGHT WITH

ME TODAY IS FOR, HER NAME IS

JOHANNA, SHE HAS AMNIOTIC BAND

SYNDROME LIKE ME.

SO, WHEN WE WENT THOUGH THE

FIRST INTERVIEW HER MOM SAID

THAT SHE CAN'T BUTTON THINGS BY

HERSELF, SO IN THE FRONT OF THE

SHIRT, WHERE THE PLACKET, WHERE

THE BUTTONS WOULD BE, I PUT

MAGNETS ON THE INSIDE AND THEN I

SEWED SEW BUTTONS ON TOP SO THAT

SHE CAN DO IT BY HERSELF.

IT'S DEFINITELY A MARKET THAT

REALLY HASN'T BEEN TAPPED INTO

AND I DEFINITELY THINK IS THE

TIME TO START MOVING FORWARD

WITH THAT.

>> I THOUGHT THIS YEAR WAS

AWESOME.

EVERY YEAR IT GETS BETTER AND

BETTER.

IT'S SO EXCITING TO SEE ALL THE

UNIQUE TALENT, ALL THE YOUNG

TALENT, YOU KNOW SHOWING STUFF

THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

SO, THIS YEAR I THINK IS GONNA

BE REALLY IMPRESSIVE.

THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT

VARIATIONS OF LOOKS.

IT WAS ALL OVER THE BOARD.

BUT, IT'S DEFINITELY GREAT TO

HAVE SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF

DESIGNERS HERE AT COLUMBUS.

CCAD DEFINITELY PRODUCES THAT.

The Importance of Providing Requested Documentation in a Timely Fashion - Duration: 1:06.

Hello, My name is Darian Green and I am Loan Processor with Ditech Financial.

One of my roles as your loan processor, is to ensure that your loan closes and funds

in a timely fashion.

In order to help do that it's important that you and I work together as a team to provide

any of the documentation that has been deemed essential for your loan approval.

Working together as a team is important for several reasons, most notably it can help

get your loan into closing that much faster and it also avoids any kind of potential delays

or extensions that may be needed on your loan.

It also helps us identify early in the processif there are any potential issues that might

hinder your final approval as well.

Remember, you and I have the same goal, and that's to get your loan into closing as quickly

as we can.

Working together to provide this needed documentation in a timely fashion will insure that, that

happens.
