Do Fashion Shows Need Commentary?

156 months ago




Photo: Getty Images In 2012, it’s pretty much a given that fashion shows will be livestreamed online.  But that they’ll include running commentary?  That’s not so expected. While KCD’s busy readying their first ever online only fashion show—an experience they promise will equal a real life production—Theory’s just announced their plan for dialogue over their AW12 Theyskens collection.  Derek Blasberg and Moda Operandi’s Lauren Santo Domingo will chat up the online crowd before the show starts at noon on Monday February 13th. It sounds like they’ll speak during the show as well, which may or may not be a plus for audiences at home.  No one’s particularly chatty during the ten or so minutes models are actually on the runway and it’s a welcome moment of silence (or good music) from the week’s noise.  Blasberg and Santo Domingo are good friends, so their rapport will probably be fun to listen to, but do you want an announcement each time a model walks out? Or a new look bows?  Didn’t think so.
