Another amazing event from the ones there are yet to come this month at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - Models at work - a Fashion in Motion soiree, by Olivier Saillard. You might have noticed the fact that I posted alot of their events lately - that is because I fell in love with this museum. They somehow managed to organize and curate some great things and all this resulting in educating the people , who attend their events.
The latest one , a catwalk show, which I unfortunately wasn't able to attend this time , but lucky for me the
V&A Channel streamed it live. (for the ones that couldn't get their tickets in time - my case). So I was also able to Print Screen some glimpses of what I witnessed.
Olivier Saillard is the author and curator of some of the most famous exhibitions and autobiographic catalogues out there. He helped put up exhibitions and write about Chanel, Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Kenzo etc.(Just go on amazon.co.uk and type in his name and you will see all the books you find). He is also hosting interesting events such as this one in Paris , trying to explain to the public the entire idea and concept behind a catwalk.

''Today, Fashion in Motion comes to life once again, this time courtesy of Frenchman Olivier Saillard. Saillard, who creates events that sit between the conventions of a fashion show and performance, comes to the V&A with a presentation that takes references from the last 80 years of fashion design and turns them into something distinctly ‘now’.
Saillard works with five French models – Axelle Doue, Claudia Huidobro, Anne Rohart, Violeta Sanchez and Amalia Vairelli. As part of the performance, the models will demonstrate the ways in which stances and poses gathered historical associations over the course of fashion history.'' Editor's Note V&A
'Models at work', streamed live tonight from the V&A and made quite an impression on some of the people in the crowd. From the many tweets I read during the show, the idea was transmitted successfully.
The show was performed by the five french models, which kept the crowd intrigued and opened the gates to the flow of imagination.
'Catwalk with no clothes', tweeted someone in the crowd, this entire spectacle is realised by only the movements and body language of the models. It was a game of Charades, what happened tonight. The models were miming dressing and undressing the clothes and not only that, you could actually visualize what clothes they were taking off and putting on.

With just a white piece of cloth, that the models were playing around with ended up being a dress, a coat, a cape ori a jacket.

Shapes, poses, beauty , expressivity and penetrance embody a show, that doesn't need garments to send a message.

Conclusion of the whole night? A show is not made of clothes, it's made of attitude, the way you walk it and work it! Most of all it has to keep the spectator intrigued and active, it has to free you, let you dream, let your imagination run wild ,so much so, that you feel you are a part of it.
