I know, how funny is that, Fashion Week In Ottawa, the words just roll off the tongue.
To be certain Ottawa is not even the fashion capital of the capital, Gatineau is.
And Fashion Week In Ottawa was only three days long. Nonetheless they had a media reception with an open bar and I try to hit as many of those as I can.
Still it was what it was and what it was was stupid.
If you don't believe me go to capitaloh.blogspot.com and check out the photos.
The lack of talent in the fashion industry in Ottawa is the reason there is no fashion industry in Ottawa.
The lack of sense is why designer Isobel Walker of frAsh decided to go with the Blackface look. You know, like in Birth of A Nation, a 1916 movie.

For the picture.
No word on whom lit the cross for the big finale.

F you!
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to link to an Ottawa Citizen picture, maybe you can also read the words they publish, too. That way you can get the CORRECT NAME OF THE DESIGNER INVOLVED IN THE CONTROVERSY!!! You're lucky Walker is not suing you for libel. Here is the correct info from the article, as well as a link to it so your readers can verify the correct info:
ReplyDeleteSome of the models wearing clothes by Montreal designer Andy Nguyen carried lanterns or bird cages, some wore spiky masks or furry hats. And some were wearing a thick layer of black makeup on their faces with a white strip over the upper lip.
