London Fashion Week: Day 2

SIDEWALK darling, FILM, and his camera-timid sidekicks, Chase and Lindsay, turned up on the secand day of London Fashion Week. The Spring/Summer 2013 collections impressed on them the need to invigorate their SUITCASES if they are to look as sharp and crisp as the models on the catwalk. Normally, they would rely on everyday inspiration on the sidewalk. However, with raucous cheers, they welcomed the iridescent catwalk creations; especially the metallic colors and floral prints. Officials displaying Exhibition Passes, promptly asked them to keep the noise down...

                            CHASE
The show has'nt even started yet, yet this posh idiot is trying to muzzle us

                            LINDSAY
What's taking so long?


                         


                                         FILM
(craning his neck to see the front)
I don't know...Oh. There are some empty seats on the front rows..maybe the would-be occupants are running late

                                        CHASE:
This is ridiculous! a catwalk show last, on average, 12 minutes, so you think they would make on effort to get here on time.


FRONT ROW GETTING REFRESHMENS.



                                                                   
(moaned)                         CHASE
Hmm. We should try get on the front row nex time.... They seem to be getting all the treats..



                                       FILM
We are LUCKY to be on the back row, so shut up before they throw us out. Lots of people on the outside WISHING they could get inside

                                                                                LINDSAY
Lots of people stayed home, some of them WISHING they could be OUTSIDE. Others have tickets front row, but can't make it for whatever reasons.

                                                                                 FILM
True. And there are people behind us, STANDING....Have you noticed? We are just as impeccably dressed as the front row....


                                                                                 CHASE
We're looking good, of course....Forget the front row...I say, we could give the models on the runway, a run for their money..


THEY BANG ON THE BACK OF CHAIRS, SPECTATORS TURNED AROUND AND GAVE THEM DIRTY LOOKS


                                                                                CHASE
What you all looking at? Do I look like the RUNWAY to you? UGH!

                                                                                LINDSAY
I like your style. I think THEY do too.


A handful of people walked in and took the vacant front row seats. Officials came over, examined their tickets. Promptly point them towards the back row.


                                                                         LINDSAY
                     (chuckles) SERVE THEM RIGHT

.......................................................................................


                                         FILM

Spring better hurry up...The models are glowing in the vibrant colours and signature prints...We MUST hit the shopping mall for cheaper versions of these magnificent creations.

                                        CHASE
(gushes)
Indeed!....Look at the soft textures, the thoughtful tailoring of the garments. Awesome! We need that glow also.


                                        LINDSAY
(giggled)

We must get some wearable prints


                                         CHASE
Indeed...I would wear that(points at model on catwalk) floral jumpsuit...It's my birthday, incidentally.


                                   
                                          FILM
....That's just for the catwalk. It's jaw-dropping but you wouldnt let you sit beside me on the sidewalk bench, wearing that. I'm the star on the bench. Those bright colours would let you outshine me. And it's NOT your birthday.


                                          LINDSAY giggled.


                                           CHASE

I KNOW the difference between wearable fashion and catwalk pieces....I was merely joking



                                              LINDSAY
                                                   
LIAR!!!!Don't lie...You were serious.


                                                       WOMAN SITTING FEW ROWS BELOW:

SHUT UP....If you have no catwalk decorum, you should go back to the sidewalk bench where you CLEARLY belong.


                                               CHASE
(cackles softly)

OUCH!


                                                FILM
                                 You both need to behave yourselves before we get kicked out...As a matter of fact, let's go back stage.

..........................................................

                                             FILM

How would you describe the atmosphere backstage?


INTERN

I'm having a wonderful time. Working backstage  at London fashion Week is a dream come true; meeting the models and experiencing the scenes


INTERN

Backstage is Live on Fashion TV, so all my family and friends are watching me right now. It feels great.


                                                FILM

What's your role?


                                               WOMAN HEADING TOWARDS THE TOILET
I'm a make up artist for the models....I've just finished applying make up on Juliana Schurig



                          FILM
(glances over on Juliana)

She created waves on New York Fashion Week, she is destined to do the same on London Fashion Week. She look stunning. Well done!


Thank You!



                           FILM
(to man emerging from toilet)

Mary Katrantzou is doing amazing job with these models hair and beauty....

No doubt

                          FILM

......What question would you ask her about her designs, if you get the chance to do so?

..I...I..I don't know. I would be too overwhelmed to say anything.. I have great respect for her Swarovski Collective..

ASANTE wears clothes inside out

BUNCH of girls roller-blade on the sidewalk, singing opera songs. Passers-by glare at them in utter bemusement. In Asante's expert opinion, the style zealot of the bunch is Claire; the girl singing soprano. She wears her psychedelic print dress inside out. ASANTE trips over a sidewalk bench owing to his fix gaze on her attire.

Asante (showing off inner stitchings on H  M inside out sweatshirt)

NEXT DAY ASANTE AND HIS CHUM, LINDSAY, STRUTS DOWN THE SIDEWALK


LINDSAY: (laughs)


Do you like dressing in the dark? Or did you dress in HASTE? Or did you spill something nasty on the outside of your clothes?






ASANTE:


I wonder why you asking such stupid questions.




LINDSAY:


Well, I noticed you've been wearing your clothes inside out recently. Today is no exception. This is funny....




ASANTE:


You TURD. Why didn't you tell me this before?






LINDSAY:

Sorry. I meant to bring it to your attention, I just forgot. Better late than never. No wonder pedestrians have been giving us funny looks




ASANTE:


Who cares!






LINDSAY:

I do




ASANTE:


I don't. In fact, I think it's FUN to wear my clothes like this






LINDSAY:


Don't mess with me. You can't be serious


...........................................................................................................




ASANTE TOLD LINDSAY ABOUT CLAIRE; THE SOPRANO WHO INSPIRED HIS LATEST SIDEWALK LOOK







LINDSAY: (incredulously)


Chum, you are crazy. Honeslty, I think you're taking this Sidewalk Looks too far. What will you think of next? wearing your clothes BACKWARDS?....Here. (hands jacket) WEAR it over your shirt NOW.




ASANTE:

What for?





LINDSAY:

Lots of people are here for the sidewalk sale, they will laugh at us if they see you wearing your clothes like that. You must hide those stitchings





ASANTE:

I'm proud to show off this look, so keep your jacket. If you're so worried about making a fool of yourself, then jog on. Real talk




LINDSAY:

I'm trying to help you, so don't be rude





ASANTE:

You're either gonna continue support me on this project or NOT...My only regret is that the seams and stitchings on my clothes are not more noticeable. UGH!






LINDSAY:

 Stop this crazy thing chum. Are you on drugs or something?





ASANTE:

Wishing you could pull of this unique look?





LINDSAY:

This look is WEIRD, not unique




ASANTE:

 Whatever! How many times have I seen you with your clothes inside-out, yet I still stood by you





LINDSAY:

Nothing wrong if I wear my pyjamas inside out. I was in my own private home. The difference is, you are on a PUBLIC sidewalk. Don't ever think these people will fail to notice how RIDICULOUS your clothes look, just because they are busy searching for bargains. If no one talks to us today, you'll be the reason.




ASANTE:

Whatever...Only last saturday, a jogger pointed out that your sweatshirt was inside out. Have you forgotten that already? I happen to like my clothes inside out, okay?





LINDSAY:

Atleast, I had an excuse....Don't you realize how gross you look wearing your clothes like that. UGH




.
ASANTE:

..an excuse? You should be ashamed of even mentioning 'an excuse.' I'm sure everyone will prefer to see me wearing my clothes inside out....SOBER...than you doing the same but DRUNK as hell...And what about the time you were spotted on the sidewalk in two different shoes? One black, one brown....






LINDSAY: (laughs)


.....I must admit, that was hilarious



ASANTE: (joins in laughter)

It's good when you can laugh at yourself sometimes. Life is too short to take things so seriously. Trust me, wearing your clothes inside out is FUN


.........................................................................................................................

Lindsay (before turning jacket inside out)

LINDSAY:

So are you telling me that you saw this (indicating a finger) ONE girl wearing her clothes inside out, and that inspired you to follow?




ASANTE:

Actually, I did spot some pedestrians doing the same thing, but I thought it was madness. However, this girl made the look, look so cool and on trend, I couldn't resist. You should try it sometimes.




LINDSAY:

I don't know



ASANTE:

Tell me something. Do you wash your clothes inside out?




LINDSAY:

Yes. Why?




Same here. However, beforeI do my laundary,  I don't have to go through the trouble of turning each piece of clothing inside out, because I was wearing them inside out already



LINDSAY:

I see.

..................................................................................................................................

LINDSAY:

I normally fold my washed clothes inside out



ASANTE:

If you wear them inside out, you wont have to turn them inside out again. Besides, when you wear your clothes inside out, you get double value for money, if you know what I mean



LINDSAY:

You mean I get more wears out of them. I never thought of that




ASANTE:

And if you ever discover your clothes is inside out after buttoning up, don't worry. Go about your business without correcting it. It's funny, but it's fun




Are you tryin to make a fool out of me?



ASANTE:

Hell no! I just want you to join the style party....Another reason why you might fancy inside out dressing is, the brand label will be increasingly visible....


.....Really. This is sounding better by the minute. You should have said that in the begining


ASANTE:

I know....I know how much you like to show off your brand of clothing



Indeed. I must admit I admire your smart genes 




ASANTE:

Thanks...By the way, if you can't be bothered to turn your clothes inside out every time, you can always pick up clothing at H & M and TopMan with the stitchings on the outside. In fact, my current attire is from H & M. My Fearsome and Handsome collection needs a few more similar pieces, so lets stop on the way.


You mean even the stores are into this trend?


Yes. Well, I don't know if it's officially a trend, but I do know that,  these stores are cottoning on in the name of profit. You should cotton on in the name of Sidewalk Looks

on the way to H & M and Topman to help Lindsay find some inside out clothing
