DA Fashion Show videos/rundown/thanks!
Seems to have been a great success!---I had lots of people come up after the show telling me it was the best ever and even overheard some talking about it the next day. :) I think the fact that we inadvertently referenced Time Bandits helped somewhat, as I know it's on a lot of people's list of favorite films. I have only dim memories of it as I was quite young when I saw it in the theatre as a new movie and for some reason my parents hated it (probably because, IIRC, it was somewhat surreal---I grew up in a house where both Alice In Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were barred as "too weird").

In fact essentially the whole line was inspired by a dream I had several months ago in which I was flirtatiously martial arts fighting( sounds funny, I know!) with Paris (No, not Hilton. The really hot one who used to be in Shadow Project!) at an industrial noise concert in a postapocalyptic ruin. I was wearing the outfit I wore in the video below, he had the long-sleeved slave's outfit on, and there were a lot of cool visuals in the crowd, all of which stood out all the more for being in stark contrast to their setting.

Here are two videos from different cameras, the second one shows the other two designers who were before me.
