Fendi

"Fendi on the Wall" (SS 2008)

On October 19th 2007, Fendi placed their Spring Summer collection on one of the most amazing places in the world, The Great Wall of China. This amazing structure beautifully frames the runway, and produces the most stunning backdrops. This show definitely wins best location for me.

Viktor & Rolf

(AW 2010)

I love the music in this show, it fits the garments perfectly. The way they dress the models is different to anything I have ever seen before. The head designers, Viktor and Rolf, dressed to models on the catwalk on a rotating platform with one model wearing all the coats at once.

Chanel

(SS 2010)

I this this is one of the most surprising shows for me. I know Chanel is relatively traditional but I didnt ever think they would have a barn and horse hay on set. And to contrast that even more, the models have tattoo's and they put lilly Allen on at the end. Still one of my favorite shows though
