The first show I attended (camera less) was Rag and Bone. The fashion was overshadowed by my excitement; all I noticed were a few neon numbers and what the models look like in real life (skinny as expected!).
The second show (still camera less)I was more composed and able to look at the clothing. It was a men's designer N.Hoolywood. Being an artist, this was my favorite presentation. I saw it as more of an art piece than a runway show... The models stepped onto the "runway" (which was really a giant canvas) after stomping in black paint. Each model did this, and at the end of the show the designer ran out and signed his name across the bottom of the foot-printed canvas with spray paint.
The last two shows were Robert Geller and Tibi. Robert Geller had some pretty cool mens designs, and Tibi was pretty basic women but I enjoyed it anyway. (Sorry for the bad photo quality!)

ReplyDeleteThis is a fashion show put on by a performance artist which may offend the art and fashion audiences equally which i think is interesting.
