So the makeup artist for our movie (Lady Venom) and her assistant do a lot of fashion shows and junk and she invited me to her last one to take pictures because her regular picture-taking girl didn't show up.
I wanted to check out the scene because I'd never been to a fashion show before. To my surprise once I saw the outfits they were wearing I realized they were basically doing Derelict...recycled clothes and garbage etc. I laughed my ass off but no one got my joke and I don't think any of them have seen Zoolander. Anyway I got to see them all in their underwear and feel fancy and important.
She got us VIP tickets for the second night and me and my brother and friend showed up, some of us wearing plaid, and hobnobbed with all the fancy types in their fine suits and evening dresses while two-fisting Big Rock beer and commenting on all the art while stuffing our mouths with cheese. Social faux-paus were MADE but they all heard about our movie and no one makes movies up here so we were quite popular. We even bought some ART.
Anyway here are the pictures. My small contribution to the project was cutting out shapes of tinfoil to glue on the model's faces.

Crazy hair attachments or ACOUTREMON
The beginning of the fashion show started with Michael Jackson's Thriller playing while this girl climbs out of that box and finds clothes in the trashcan: nsfw a little
I kinda wanted to DO this one. I just kept taking pictures of her. She loved the camera and the camera loved HER. Cute as bubblegum.
THAT HANSEL'S SO HOT RIGHT NOW
Lady Venom cosmetics is her new line of regular and specialfx makeup she is rolling out this year, also she sometimes does makeup on porn sets so STAY TUNED.

okay we gonna make them more ugly watch this
they come out in outlandish costumes and call them "lines" or whatever
like they make and sell them
but I have never seen a single person wear any of that shit EVER
how do they even work
how does fashion work
This was something I wondered about. I'm not sure how it works at the BIG, BIG shows but here is what went down:
You see that blue dress made out of sweaters? Someone bought that and they get to walk around in a "designer original" and they tell their friends about this girl's clothing boutique.
That box skirt? No one will buy that but it's more there for the art form. Like the fashion show is part art/play and part clothing sale.

yeah it's been that way for like twenty years now

this is a shocking opinion i know
i guess i am just a face man
no fuckin' sense at all
it's not meant to be wearable by the general public
it typically has some sort of overarching theme or message
the model is simply the canvas
which is why they're usually rail thin and extremely tall. like a human coat rack, none of what they have interferes with how the art is displayed.
modern fashion that you see people actually wearing is sometimes inspired by the art of runway shows
sort of like how... lots of commercial artists are inspired by the works of fine artists (and vice versa)
That's the dress she sold. One of my coworkers sister's bought it.
I actually was going to suggest/ask why they don't have some more plus size women etc. if they are trying to sell clothes to the crowd...since there are overweight women in the crowd and I think they would like something made for them too. I didn't get the chance but I'm moving in with her so I'll have plenty of time to pick her brain.

thank you beavs
i'm not a huge fan of modern or fashion art either, but you have to appreciate some of it for the sheer effort and talent that goes into it
(some of it... not all of it.)
Also, off color eye shadow and lipstick are really awesome.
the models are typically hired through agencies by the hosts of the shows
so... ralph lauren has a slew of regular models that he uses
some models are used frequently by multiple high end designers and gain fame through runway (tyra for example)
presumably for the same reason that she doesn't adorn herself in monet paintings
it's not intended to be worn by the public
i really don't understand fashion shows!
e: oh so it's on the first page of the thread huh. well lookee there.
I know that on some level stuff like this Derelict used to offend me but when I actually was at the show I preferred it to the regular clothes because it was more imaginative and interesting I guess.

not saying she's well adjusted!
just saying she got fame from runway!
also not saying i'm a huge fan of runway art
but i mean... i try to appreciate multiple forms of art for what they are, and i always try to keep in mind the amount of skill that had to be put into a piece to make it work, regardless of whether i like it or not.
art school has made me way too open minded
i need to go work on some commercial doodles.
