A start in FashionVille

Last week I did my first steps in the world of fashion. Jay is planning to conquer the world with his great designs, it was about time for me to do a more in depth study of this phenomena. Personally I have not much with fashion; I don’t follow trends, don’t know which celebrities matters today and still wear clothes till they get fashionable again... No, I am more a gadget man, but that will be another blog. 

The Emirate Towers

The event was to take place opposite of the Emirate towers, another luxury place which I never visited before in the Shopping Metropole. And this place was even more exclusive in high end fashionable boutiques then I saw before. The show took off a bit too late, and meanwhile the guests were entertained with drinks and snacks - high end snacks of course. 

It was all about a contest between young designers who had to design a summer dress inspired on the Mercedes Benz Cabriolet including five other less concrete conditions. The speaker lady started to read out loud a text from a piece of paper while a cool trip hop beat build up some tension. Nineteen models were about to pass and turn in front of a four headed jury from the Dubai fashion world. 

The winning dress in blue

None of the 19 finalists dresses - but that’s just my opinion - did look like a Mercedes Benz Cabriolet. I would send my model in a cabriolet on the catwalk I think, with a summer dress (flower motive) of course. The judges were looking puzzled to the models, while sucking on legs of their glasses and making rejecting notes on their pads or whispering mysteriously in each others ears. 

Mr. and Mrs. Tet

After the last model left the ramp and without any communication with the judges, the speaker lady announced all winners in an embarrassing speed. Prices were going in the wrong sequence and to the wrong people. During this chaos trendy drinks were coming down the stairs and due to the heat - it felt like a hot air oven - everybody stormed towards the waiters to cool down a bit. 

And so I had reported this event live to Jay via twitter, and I made contact to a couple of future customers - or at least I hope they will - and so the success of this evening is yet to be seen.  And for me personally? I think I have done it well and was promoted to level two of FashionVille - (tailor assistant!)
