Walk on the Wild Side

Honestly, fashion shows can get a little repetitive. I mean it's definitely always fun to see the new looks and creative designs that designers come up with each season. But come on, can't we spice it up a little sometimes? Everything is more interesting when designers really set a mood and theme to their entire showcase. In my opinion, well thought out decor, new concepts of display, and originality always make for a better runway show. So, in my search for designers who were making these more radical decisions, I stumbled upon a list of some of the worlds "craziest catwalks."

These shows included a variety of styles. One in Germany is held completely underground...in the subway. Yep, in the actual subway cars. Oh yeah, and the train is moving. Sounds fun right? I just hope no one has a model fall on them...or maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing for everyone. Anyway, this show features newer designers and is set up as a way for them to display their clothing in a less expensive format.

Other shows on the list include Fendi's F/W 2007 show which was held on none other than the Great Wall of China. It also lists the Chanel Metier's d'Art Pre-Fall show as one of the craziest catwalks. This show was luxurious and incredibly gluttonous. The Karl Lagerfeld created show was held at the Chanel Grand Palais in Paris, and involved both fashion and feast. Show goers sat behind long dining tables, with beautiful meals in front of them, as models the runways in between.

One of the most exciting shows on the list was that of New Zealand designer Kylee Davis. By partnering with a real estate company, Kylee has managed to rent out empty high end apartments as a venue to hold her runway shows and all of its counterparts. Her first show was held at a multi-million dollar penthouse. What makes her event so unique is that guests are able to see all the different aspects of the show and its production. Guests can explore the varying rooms of the apartment to see things like fittings, presentations, musicians, style tip sessions, and of course the traditional runway show.
