Tupac Martir specified and used an Avolites Diamond 4 console to programme and operate 5 high profile shows for London’s recent Fashion Week event – including Top Shop, Christopher Kane, Aquascutum and Peter Jensen, for which lighting was designed by Italian LD Manolo.

They all took place in P3 and underground space at the University of Westminster apart from Aquascutum, which was staged on the second floor of the Science Museum in South Kensington.

Martir is a UK based LD, programmer, operator, director, and the Diamond 4 is currently his console of choice for shows like this where he needs instant access to all the individual lighting fixtures right there in front of him. Using the D4 like this also gave LD Manolo the chance to tweak channels and lights as the shows were taking place.
