Fashion Weeks the World Over
I saw this picture featured in a write up about the Hong Kong Fashion Week, and, well the question that sprang to mind when I saw this strange mummified-person-meets-the-harlequin-disemblower was WHY? Why would anyone want to 'create' something (don't know if it can be called an outfit, technically speaking) like this. Described politely as the "avant-garde wonder by Hong Kong's Michael Lau" by the L A Times, I would perhaps express my sentiments differently.So What are Fashion Weeks all about?According to Wiki, a Fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, which allows fashion designers or "houses" to display their latest collections in runway shows, and buyers to take a look at latest trends. And most importantly let the industry know, what's "in" and what's "out" for the season. The popularity of the Fashion Week has increased to the extent that it is no longer the traditional venues of Milan, Paris, London, and New York City that conduct these fashion events; this is now more of a global phenomenon, with Fashion Weeks springing up at other venues all over the world,ugg 5498.Fashion Weeks are really trade shows where designers present their vision toeditors and retailers just before stores place their wholesaleorders—about six months before the clothes appear in stores. These shows give valuable publicity to designers; many other people benefitfrom the show economy, including publicists and event producers likecaterers, restaurants and hotels.What? Who? WHY?
