It's amazing how this is my
third official year at fashion week not just the Lfdw but going as far back as
my first experience, Arise fashion week 2012.
I have managed to experience
fashion week playing so many roles ranging from interning to working production
and even on the team of the fashion week magazine like I did last year.
Titi belo one of the
designers showing at this year's lfdw got me to come along with her for her fittings
and it brought about so much memories.
The interns, tantrums, model lineups and all the accents flying around all over the place.
I officially can smell
fashion week in the air.
The cycle continues and it's so pretentious as always.
I think I might need to
explain what I mean, I have spent most of my time using that word in place of stuck up, too unreal and maybe even fake.
There's a designer before us
one of the more established ones she makes the models laugh but she owns it so
much that she still manages to get her vision. She makes the wrong models take
the clothes off and she searches for the tallest or shortest model in the room
to cater for her needs and what I believe is her vision.
It's good to see new models as
well but the older, more established ones still get first pick but it seems
like we are getting somewhere.
I expected it though cause
there have been so many new agencies since late last year.
I only hope they can walk and
strut it as I always felt the models don't get enough if any training in this part of
the world.
Let's not forget the interns
arguing and talking about the all black look, I remember finding it annoying as
well but then nothing says professional like a dress code, you would be shocked
how some people would still rock black on black unprofessionally.
My aspirations for fashion
week? To be for the first time a guest, to watch the show as a blogger and to
start my journey into the world of fashion criticing.
That was my goal as at Arise
Fashion week.
I hope you don't hate me.
I plan to be super
constructive.
Are you going to be there? what are your own goals?
Please post about fashion week! Can't wait to see pictures and read all about it.

Hello Desola,
ReplyDeleteYou write really well, it's impressive.
It's refreshing to see another perspective of LFDW, one that shows more than just high definition pictures of high fashion. One with the real backstage angle.
Nicely done. :-)
