fashion fest fever
Last night my dad and I went down to the huge tent outside ngee ann city to catch Vivienne Westwood's Fall/Winter 2009 Collection :) Too bad she wasn't actually there in person, that would have been so awesome! But she wanted to reduce her carbon footprints and now will not travel long distances unless it's utterly essential/crucial.
Very quirky, as usual. Quirky hair and makeup and clothes! I love love love the jelly shoes though! Mmmm, not that I'll ever be able to afford it (i saw a pair at ann siang hill going for $500 and they were just jelly shoes with vivienne westwoods label! like those melisa ones you can get from novo!) But wow. DAMN CUTE SHOES.
But honestly, so much preparation goes into just that 30 minutes. It's crazy! We had a backstage tour and the models just wait around and get makeup done and hair done and wait and then rehearse and wait and so much money goes into the set and the runway and the seating and the airconditioning. WHOA SEH. And I bet even for the super well-dressed guests there too, getting all dressed up just for that 30 minutes of sitting down and watching someone else parade in garments.
But it was a good first experience being at a real fashion show.
