Carnivale of Couture: Round One

On Monday, the lovely Andrea posted our topic for the Carnivale of Couture.
As I mentioned earlier, my laptop is fried, so there was some confusion/lateness
about getting our topic out to fellow bloggers—we have two responses so far,
but expect more to come later in the week. We’ll post responses through the
weekend, so keep them coming!

To recap, our topic is:

“You’ve been given the opportunity to produce a runway show for any designer
of your choosing. Which designer would it be, what location would you hold the show,
who would be on your guest list of front row celebrities, and what music would you play
as the models strutted down the runway? You have unlimited budget and resources, and
complete creative freedom.”

Responses:
The Bag Snob pulls out all the stops in an attempt to keep fashion house Chloe
relevant now that Phoebe Philo has jumped ship, with their own heavily conceptual
fashion show: Cirque du Chloe! The show would be a symbolic statement
(fashion=circus) with contortionists replacing models, and a live performance by Madonna.
Other touches include an A-list celeb front row, the Champs Elysee, Arc de Triomphe and
Cristal. Wow, when we said use unlimited resources, the Bag Snob far exceeded our imaginations.
Bravo!!!

Atlas Shrugs chooses to produce a show for Valentino with a line inspired by writer
Oriana Fallaci. The show takes place in CBGB, where a blend of punk rockers, press
and politicians mingle and do perform random tasks: Ann Coulter appears in a mini skirt,
Madeline Albright works a Danish expresso machine, and the bouncers would be a
seriously threatening duo Rep.Cynthia McKinney and Naomi Campbell. Humorous and
imaginative–let’s make it happen!
