Here’s some photos of two events I attended on thursday and friday. I don’t really have any photos of the Austria Fashion Awards 2011, because apparently we weren’t allowed to take photos sitting by the catwalk. Anyway, you might remember the label meshit, which i introduced in my post here. I am so excited that they actually won one of the prizes. They even got standing ovations, but the super aggressive securities yelled at those guests for getting up. But what really shocked me: the show by writtenafterwards. The designer sent kids down the runway, who did NOT look like they were having fun. The cherry on top was definitely when one of the girls who had to carry knitted cross on her shoulder. It’s not the blasphemy that shocks me, but the fact that those girls shouldn’t be part and tool of such stupidity. Are they already telling 6 year olds now to wear make-up and loose weight? I think a year 6 old girl does not belong to the runway, they belong to things that other kids their age do. Play with their barbies, play in mud, eat cookies and don’t worry about their looks. I think it’s super grotesque. Apart from that fact, the pieces also didn’t impress me at all. At the end of the show the designer sent cave-men-like creatures down the runway, holding a broken paper stick. Is that art? Is every little piece of trashy crap art? To me it’s definitely not.
The other winners were: SUUS, George Bezhanishvili, meshit, Steinwidder, Eric Rainer and Michaela Buerger.
So in order to get some photos for you readers, the next day, for the departure fashion night, I had to get myself a spot in the photographers area, which was super packed and tiny. The light was bad too, so sorry for blurry photos. My favorite collection was by Petar Petrov, very simple but I loved it. But to be frank: I liked pretty much every collection. There was nothing outstanding terrible… Oh wait. There was. The white, shiny boots. Awful! The other designer were rosa mosa, superated, brandmair and Muehlbauer.
Anyway, I can’t wait to catch up on about a million hours of sleep. I’ll be back feeling more human again 🙂
