Need help on an entrance prop for a fashion show.?

Question

Fashion show is in a small hotel ballroom. Models come in from the side of the ball room from the back of the house into a tiny alcove (maybe 12x3) where the doors lead directly in to the ballroom area. These doors lead to the ballroom where directly in front of the doors will be a 3 step ladder,which will then step onto a small runway in the form of a "T". I need help in trying to hide/disguise the small alcove area where the models will be lined up and then make their entrance into this area. I hope I made this information clear. My original idea was to use black plastic against the outer back part of the
alcove and then shiny Silver Waterfall plastic up to the entry. But this is too typical and I am looking for something to either enhance this or something all together easier. Oh, by the way, this is to be done by High Schoolers. Thanks

Answer 1

Go to Rose brand.com that have all kinds of fabrics that should work well for you.

Answer 2

You could use a back lit changing screen so only a silhouette of the next model would be seen making the shadow behind each model a unique work of art.

Answer 3

I would say to make a model of a model and try to show people what the new fashions are by showing what is on the
cardboard model. This way they will know what they are in for.
