A YSL Fashion Show

Yesterday Harrods Girl and I went to the local YSL show set at the grand ballroom of one of the premier hotels the city has to offer. Very befitting the stature of YSL I must say. We arrived at around 9, stood in line to be registered. Surprisingly it was already very crowded and chaotic (so much that I reckon people appropriately dressed could've gotten in without being on the list). And here I thought people would be fashionably late. Apparently that right is only reserved for the celebs who arrived right before the show and literally squeezed the rest of the people in their row out of their seats.
Anyway, so we went in, had champagne and this delicious strawberry cocktail, chatted and observed the amazingly good looking and fashionably dressed people in the room. And the latest and best were observed, from leopard pump, this season's YSL clothes to the most gorgeous Loubotin pumps and birkins around. Of course, the hair and make-up were flawless. Even the guys looked cuter!
Inside, many rows of benches were set out and the models walked around the rows and we all got a very good look at the clothes. Fashion really does look better in real life. I especially LOVED this dress, it flowed soooo beautifully and looked amazing. Now if only the models would walk slow enough for me to take a picture!
They were also showing the men's collection as well. Although some looked scary and one looked like a woman, a few of the male models were very hot-especially these two in the tux *swoon*.

Which local YSL show did you go to?
Did you get good seats or did you have to stand? Sounds like a lot of fun, nevertheless! :)

Sounds like a blast. The runway clothes look very wearable from what i can see. Love the black to grey skirt ensemble...

Note to self: Add to "List of things to do before I die" - Attend fashion show (live and in person) where everyone is totally hot. Pay attention while there.

It looks like a local gallery collection or something.

Is this a repeat of the YSL runway show last season? I recognize one of the dresses... but you're so lucky too see the clothes in real-life!

That sounds amazing! I've been to a few shows before with young designers in but nothing designer. I loved the atmosphere there, so a real YSL show would be fabulous! Your pictures of the show have given me lots of ideas - the kind of colours, material types and so on. I'm really looking forward to next season now!
