I couldn't believe it! What a perfect timing to visit London. News on BBC was filled with updates and live telecast of the London Fashion Week held at the Natural History Museum, near Cromwell Road. The glamourous-ness of the place was heighten with sights of fashion models, and all the people who are distinguishingly known to be working in this industry. I mean, you can tell by the way they carry themselves and the way they dress. It's something outsider of the industry will find amazement or sometimes, amusement. Nonetheless, London Fashion Week is one of the great highlights of the fashion calendar and worth mentioning.
As debates of skinny models and some teenagers experiencing the back-stage chaosness of the event, we can conclude that, it's such an hedonistic affair to just want to look good for the event. BBC aired some research findings that, models are depressed human beings and have low self-esteem. I wonder, why the fashion industry has such a magnifying effect on most of us today, to consider that models are the people we look up to for physique and designers for their creations and labels. Well, my own conclusion is, read Fashion Babylon by Imogen Edward-Jones for a slice and dice of this "sacred" industry and accept the fact that fashion is not for all but to the very colourful people who are essential to make up for diversity of people on earth. A brilliant species indeed for creating such an appeal, which is certainly not for the mainstreamers!
