Fashion Comes to The Great Wall of China
Quite spectacularly, The Great Wall of China was the backdrop for the most recent Fendi show. Karl Lagerfeld’s intention to stage the show at the World Heritage Site was announced in February, when he said, “It’s all about the opening of China, not just economically, but also from an artistic and cultural point of view.” Yet, even having all these months to get used to the idea didn’t prepare me for how amazing the whole event turned out to be.
It wasn’t the clothes so much as the staging that was so monumental. Actually, a lot of the designs were from the Milan show, with a small collection put together for this particular catwalk. But still, it was beautiful and glamorous, both qualities for which I am a sucker. And so is Kate Bosworth:

Okay, now it’s your turn: At what international monument or site would you stage a fashion show? Can little ‘ol you top Lagerfeld?

I would stage a top show in Africa, because I am drawn to the lions and the gorillas and apes. I think it would be a good idea to take all the modernism and city style and have it contrast with the African plains and wild animals. If possible it would be even better to have wild lions in the pictures of the fashion show.
