Okay so what we are dealing with are cyborgs. Perfectly proportioned models in cybernetic form that are sent from the future to save the fashion world one catwalk at a time... That's the only explanation I have which can account for those amazing abs you could grate your Cathedral cheddar on and those perfect peachy bottoms strutting down that catwalk at the Clothes Show Live 2014.
Earlier this week I entered the doors of the 26th year of the world's largest fashion and beauty festival and boy did it deliver! I remember a slightly less experienced fashionista attending in 2008 and I can say that in comparison this year's Fashion Show was of epic proportions- combining awesome graphics with slick dance routines and of course jaw dropping fashion.
After a frustrating and slightly comical morning of late friends, a delayed mini bus journey and missing the fashion show as a result of it- all worked out for the best.
We were boosted to platinum tickets!
Yes. We were sat at the steps of the Catwalk, so close we could almost feel the perspiration and smell the Tom Ford.
The theme of the catwalk was New York and the show opened by transporting the audience into Times Square. The opening was very DKNY and the graphic backdrops along with the chic street looks really made you feel immersed in the hustle and bustle of New York. Many of the beautiful collections were inspired by Central Park, Broadway, Wall Street, Brooklyn Street Wear, 70s Disco and even Batman's Gotham City.
Visually, one of my favourite collections was inspired by Wall Street. For me it captured an element of what fashion is all about, wanting to reach the top and using fashion as a tool to conquer your dreams. These women were all kinds of fierce and dressed to kill, ladies of the office take note!
The choreography was as polished as Simon Cowell's teeth and having one of the models stick his tongue out at us was just an added bonus! These models were bulletproof.
Gotham City was of course a highlight, who knew Batman was so fashion forward? Think black caped shirts and tailored skinny trousers, this was Batman taking a day off from beating the bad guys and going on a date with his Catwoman.
Once the battle of the goodie bags had finished outside the fashion show, one of my favourite areas was the vintage quarter and ASOS market place. It really summed up this generations take on fashion at the moment and that is-no rules apply! I will post my shopping haul very soon but for now...
Stay classy :)
