hi all, i've always been curious....u know those red-carpet
fashion shows in paris, berlin, tokyo and other famous cities,
whereby the models strut out on the catwalk, dressed up in all
kinds of very very extreme-looking clothes that you cannot see in
your daily life?
as in, some of the clothes are very gothic-looking with some kind
of 2m-long "peacock's tail" worn on the shoulders, or a model
dressed up as an angel with the feathery wings spanning out 1.5m
across, or with some models dressed up as an oversized pineapple
with very elaborated headgear and outta-this-world makeup
etc.....(these stuff are always shown on TV...)
what is the purpose of having these kind of shows?
is it for pure entertainment? or to satisfy rich people who have a
fetish in elaborated dressing?!
because if you think in terms of practicality, people don't wear
such kinds of clothes in their daily lives and if the purpose of
the fashion show is for marketing the clothes, then who wants to
buy??!!
would you go clubbing or go to work wearing a 2.5m thick
fanciful-frilly dress with a 1-kg hawaiian headgear???!!!
from what i see, even actors/actresses in Hollywood movies don't
wear these kind of extreme clothes in movies.
maybe someone can explain to me the reason behind this kind of
fashion show??!!
