My Beautiful City produced and directed Kent & Curwen’s AW25 runway at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, transforming the state rooms into a make-believe train station. Channeling C.S. Lewis’s childhood imagination, the scenography balanced nostalgia and self-actualisation: platform “runway” spine, period benches and luggage stacks, a station clock and graphic wayfinding, with soft steam cues and a tannoy-led soundscape to stage departures and arrivals. A choreographed lighting programme moved from cold morning to dusky evening to pace the narrative and time key reveals. Sightlines, music cues and camera positions were engineered for clean silhouettes and editorial frames, delivering a transportive show that felt cinematic in the room and on camera
