So YOU think that fashion is all about beauty, then you're absolutely wrong! And Charlie Le Mindu shows you why.
At London Fashion Week, their models were almost naked, wearing only gasmasks or special white wigs. There were also models who were having blood all over their body. First word that comes out an 'average' person's mouth: That's disgusting and its ugly, that's not fashion. Oh yes it is.
Fashion is not only beauty, it's making something new, making a statement, making people to talk about this collection. People have to expand their mind about fashion and not only saying that it's beautiful or ugly. Is it interesting? Do you see the designers mind in this collection? Do you understand his/her statement? It's weird that people are watching movies with people with blood all over and finds it interesting to watch, but when a naked model comes on the runway with blood all over, then it's disgusting... That's a bit weird huh?
Someone told me last week that people are afraid for new things. And i totally agree with that. Do we have to feel save all the time? Do we have to dress 'beautiful' all the time? Think about it! Fashion is not a brainless beauty thing, it's about being a person, being an individual with your own style. Don't follow trends, make the trends.
And this is what Le Mindu wants to tell you in this show I think. He's also the hairdresser of the best performance artist of now: Lady Gaga.
So again think again what fashion is.
