Show coverage in haiku form
The Côte d’Azur set
the scene — famous playground of
the rich & listless.
Et voila! Here they
come, models whose lifestyles we
are meant to envy.
Long blonde hair, beaucoup
du stripes in navy & white
& vivid red lips.
Halter tops with spots,
impractical shoes abound,
monochrome is in.
Australia’s Next
Top Model does her little turn
on the slouch-walk.
Wooden bangles &
brown leather belts help ground a
floaty white shift dress.
By the looks of things,
sailor chic will be major.
Ahoy there matey.
Mimco’s turbans &
beads reek of Little Edie
at the beach. (Love it.)
All the male models
look like criminals, even
in pink & florals.
(Sunglasses hide one’s
eyes from the piercing glare of
the surly front row.
There are several
mothers in the audience
who are not happy.)
...Is that all there is?
Stripes & white for summer is
not that ground-breaking.

Oh Lord, you are SUCH an original! You fully kick silly old Runway Reporter’s and Style.com’s ARSES! (But don’t tell them I said that. Specially not Runway Reporter – they know where I live.)
:-D
Thank you! Hahah! & I can’t think of anything more boring than “models were sent down the catwalk in hues of green, all with a nude lip & lots of blush”... Such a yawnfest!
How clever of you.
to haiku!
My response today
I’ll rhyme and say:
Gala- you’re the best!

love the haiku! haha .. i definitely will be checking out vogue’s runway coverage as well. looks like you had a good time!
It’s interesting to see that the model is really average-sized. I think the models where I’m from are miniature compared to that lady; she would be considered a plus sized model in Canada or the states. How refreshing to see a bit of muscle on the leg!
Gala do not cease
Being so original
For love nor money.
Honey you would have won our Summer haiku comp hands down, no contest!
This has our fashionable Japanese senses a-tingling!
mwah**
the stanza about
sailor chic had me giggling.
marry me gala?!
While the fashion was relatively uninspiring, it was more than made up for by your excellent haikus! Bravo!
How creative! This post is fabulous!
Lovely haikus, very uninspiring collection.
I don’t like much at all this season, I’ll have to commence being good at sewing. Ahem.
Well, thank you very much!
Julie — It’s strange actually, she was the runner-up of Australia’s Next Top Model & on the show she was teeny. I think maybe she has gained a bit of weight since then? Also, I think a t-shirt that just covers your butt + ankle boots is a VERY hard look to pull off. Steph is average height & unless you were a giant, I think that would be pretty unflattering on anyone…
tokyomade — Oh no, I should have entered! Big bag of Tokyomade goodies… drool central! xx!
annaloren — Of course! :D
