I was lucky enough to witness hairdresser & wig designer Charlie Le Mindu cause a stir at Fashion Week, sending stark naked models down the runway.
Sunday's show saw us transported to the glamourous city of LA and the eccentric lifestyle of the rich & famous, set in the city's iconic Sunset Boulevard. The pink champagne, groomed poodles and gala ball gowns found in LA were represented by a flamingo and pink colour palette, pink poodle headdress and a number of flowing full length human hair garments. All over animal prints were key to the collection appearing on a number of leotards as well as a teddybear headdress, covering the models entire face.
Known for his very daring & innovative approach, creating couture clothing made entirely out of human hair, it's no suprise to hear Le Mindu's a favourite of Lady Gaga. He certainly knows how to put on a good show.
Before we were seated, two models strutted up and down the corridor where the queue had formed, showcasing Zanditon's collection. Once inside, the visual began. The film depicts the metamorphic journey of Poseisus transposed through the urban landscape, beginning in London and making her way towards the tropical shores of Haiti. The monochrome background that opens the show slowly becomes injected with colour as the subject nears Haiti. As the colours turn brighter and the sounds become louder, you see Poseisus emerge as a seahorse. The influence of the seahorse is evident in the collection’s sculptural silhouettes, reflective also of the designer’s time spent working at both Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh.
