JULIA

Africa Fashion Week

WHILE shopping, on fashionable Oxford Street, for outrageously gorgeous, knock-them-dead suits and ties to wear to London Fashion Week, an interestingly-dressed Bundesliga, aka the sidewalk playboy, reminisces on the handsome AFRICA FASHION WEEK. [Zokaya wore BEAMS PLUS waistcoat, EXEMPLAIRE sweatshirt and MARWOOD scarf, AND,,,BORSALINO fedora]

....................
Hasselbeck:
Do you have a stamp on your hand, or A badge....?
BUNDESLIGA:
No. No.

Hasselbeck:
Report to my colleagues at that desk then.
........................
BUNDESLIGA:
This queue is moving at top speed, I must be in the wrong queue.

PARKA:
Let me seee. Do you have a badge or a stamp on your hand.

BUNDESLIGA:
Let me see...a stamp.
PARKA:
You are in the wrong queue.

BUNDESLIGA:
I thought so.

[Patrons with badges had reserved seats. Others with stamps, like the sidewalk playboy, BUNDESLIGA, had to stand at the back. FINALLY, the 'stamped on hands' queue started to move, albeit VERY slowly. Eventually, they reached inside]

Elisabetta:
Follow this young man. His name is Hachiko.

BUNDESLIGA:
ok, thanks
.....................

Young man, Hachiko:
You can stand anywhere you like, around the back here.

BUNDESLIGA:

Thanks

BRADLEY:

New York Fashion Week

OUTSIDE New York Fashion Week, Mali, aka the sidewalk playboy, decked out in Balenciaga slim fit suit and Alexander McQueen badass brogue and sweater, shares his song Fashion Week, with his new fashion friends.


FASHION WEEK.

I admit I'm weak.

For Fashion Week.

Can't eat, sleep, speak.

 My heart skip a beat.



Fashion Week has start.

Kick-ass silhouettes on the catwalk.

Sidewalk darlings wear their best garbs.

Who's who, on the front row.

Meet sidewalk darlings that I never know.

 Fashion demi-gods take the last bow
