Anyway, I know designers typically don’t want anything to distract from the clothes (why we see so much austere, sameish stomping during fashion week), but this runway show incorporated an usual performance which made the collection’s gaudy fur pelts only more appealing. In the words of the narrator in the newsreel below, “It was more like a cabaret than a fashion show, but that’s no cause for complaint: It was the most expensively-dressed cabaret of all time!”
