And so Miranda and I were luckily enough to attend not one, but two fashion shows over the weekend. The first one was by Russian designer Alena Akmhadullina. The clothes were a disappointment (who likes shapeless granny dresses anyways?!), however, the over the top hairdos and masks were definitely worth the wait (that’s them above!!)
The best part of the show, however, had to be the spectacle that took place in the audience. Between the dramatic entrances (“Bonjjjjjourrrrr Cherieeeeeeeeee”) the elaborate living accessories (dali-esque moustaches, babies slung eloquently over one arm,teacup Chihuahuas skittering around), and the mandatory 3 kisses (muuu-aah!), I felt like I was on the set of some Fashion Mockumentary.
The second show was Gardem (“the 29 year old, Lebannon born, Paris based independent designer who label has been stirring up the boutique crowd for several seasons”). The clothes were absolutely stunning and the models freakishly beautiful. Miranda and I were in awe...After the show we gawked in amazement as each stunning model left with a hairy, less-than-gorgeous boyfriend who barely reached their waists!
You can only imagine how much work I have to do, as today I was invited to the Lagerfeld show, and painfully declined!!! Quelle Domage!!
