| Dennis at Spitalfield Traders' Market, sporting Tiger of Sweden trousers and Primark shirt |
Pedestrians look at Dennis with blank stares or quickly declare no knowledge of the place. When he finally reaches and read the welcome sign, he understands why. All along, he was asking for Pitafield Market. The correct name is Spitalfield Traders' Market. What a difference a 's' makes. The beauty about this place, incidentally, is that it comprises both market stalls and posh shops like CHiCA. Anyone who never visit |Spitalfield, should be ashamed to admit it.
Please note that Alternative Fashion Week is produced by Alternative Arts, free of charge to the independent designers. There is a heavy downpour of rain, nevertheless, a large turn out of curious and interested people are on hand. Everyone has an umbrella but the high roof of the market is more than adequate.

Where is Cole when I need him, Dennis thinks. It's gonna be a little challenging getting someone to shoot the videos and pictures. He would love to ask female passers-by but he's afraid they might mistakenly think he's trying to pull them. He tries one anyway. She didn't even reply, she just peer at the camera in his outstretched hand and walk away quickly. Never again, he thinks.
Excuse, do you mind taking a picture if me, please....Just ONE....takes just 5 seconds...
(scurrying away) No English
Two guys tries to run away. Dennis pleads earnestly so one of them decided to stop and help. Dennis gives instructions on how to shoot the video and what button on the camera to press to start and stop the action.
Later, Dennis tries in vain to stop few more pedestrians but they all ignore him.
Next, he approaches a couple and ask them to shoot the still photos. The male who was closest to him, frowns and hold his head straight. "You want me to take a pictures OF YOU?" asked his female companion.
"That's it." Dennis beams.
Okay
He hands her the camera then walk and pose for each photo.
"Awesome", she smiled when she takes the last picture.

THE SHOWS ALTERNATIVE highlights
Women of all ages, sizes and heights are appreciated here. The female models are of average or above average sizes. Apparently, no sticks are allowed on this show. Also, there seems to be no restriction on heights; some of the models are a bit taller than a midget, whereas others are quite tall. Needless to say, the clothes look good on all of them. All models underwent weeks of training before the event opened.
Cole will be so pissed he'll probably lose another tooth when Dennis tells him later that he had missed the free lingerie show. Poor thing. Unlike London fashion week, you see, this show is hardly exclusive. No cordoned off front row for celebrities. Passers-by from all walks of life, sit with journalists and professionals from the fashion industry. Therefore, Cole missed a treat.
Before each designer's collection is showcased, he/she talks briefly about his/her inspiration for their creations. These independent designers maybe unknown and their collections are sometimes random, outlandish and outrageous but their talents are in evidence and appreciated by everyone in attendance. Some
of them are participating in a fashion show for the very first time so they are accompanied by friends and family to cheer and take pictures.
The highlights of Kevin's day were the eco-friendly and chic creations and the free lingerie presentaton. He thoroughly enjoyed the show.
