To be honest, it wasn't as exciting as I expected.
Starting off, we got our goody bags. Inside was:
- A bathing suit
- Bronzer
- A magnet
- The bag itself
- Snacks
- A mango drink
- Perfume
- Tampons
- Hair Gel
Next we dabbled into the exhibitions where labels such as Luella, Michael Kors, and Juicy Footwear were set up. Besides the ones I have just listed, the exhibitions had not so top of the line clothes. They were very basic, not made well (some had holes or were pilling like crazy), and many looked like clothes my mum would wear. I think the only thing that really caught my attention in the area was the jewelry. I couldn't bring myself to buy anything, but they had gorgeous gold pendents, bright plastic broaches, and vintage necklaces.
The last thing we did was attend the Catwalk. This was very exciting! It wasn't a show with one designer. The idea behind this catwalk was to show off the latest trends for the 2009 spring/summer season. The scenes were split into American Idol, Domestic Goddess, African Queen, and Ethereal Nude.
- American Idol went to show that the 80s are in full swing with acid washed denim, florals, and big bows, generally titled, Trailer trash chic.
- Domestic Goddess had a very 50s look including light colored hand gloves, pearls, and tweed overcoats.
- African Queen was all about tribal prints, harem pants, and the maxi dress representable to a bohemian look.
- Ethereal Nude was a bit more sexual compared to the rest. The idea was to show that there are nudes for every skin tone with lightweight fabrics detailed by sequins and golds.
This was very fun because they used clothing that everyone can wear compared to what I normally see on a catwalk where designers go out on extreme limbs with crazy cuts and styles.
I think an experience at the real Fashion Week would be a little more rewarding, but I definitely got a peak about how things are run there.
