10 fashion shows to watch out for.

Fashion shows are never just about the clothes. They are also about the experience. Every season, designers tell a story through their creations or take you to a fantasy that becomes tangible.

The fashion show completes this through the music, the lighting and the set design. Throw in a little bit of drama from the models themselves and it can become an unforgettable presentation. For example, I can still remember the “gag” Valentino played on us when they sent Derek Zoolander and Hansel down the runway, anticipating the premiere of “Zoolander 2”.

There are also the lavish worlds designers love to present. For this, I believe it’s impossible not to mention Alexander McQueen. In his heyday, McQueen didn’t shy away from drama with the use of fire, holographs, water and spray-painting robots to articulate his designs further.
