Fashion Faux Pax	Permalink Closed

Fashion week. A week where designers, both local and international, come to Italy to do battle and to regale spectators with the future of fashion. From avant-garde couture to ready to wear. People come from all over the world to be a part of fashion history. They come to Fashion week where everyday is a show where anything can happen. Whether it's edgy fashions that push the envelope or criminals with nerve gas. The evening started well enough. The turn out according to Robeux Francisco, Assistant Fashion Director for the House of Red, was extreme. Yet what promised to be a fantastic showing of new talent turned into a high fashion disaster. A group of men, posing as a film crew shooting a documentary about Fashion Week, infiltrated their way into the tent where the House of Red fashion show was to take place. However, what followed was anything but fashionable. A man dressed in a suit made entirely out of Velcro, now in custody and identified only as B, was the decoy. By gathering all of the outfits from the racks he managed to fashion himself a couture cocoon which attached to his suit. All dressed and with nowhere to go B took to the runway, strutting his stuff before falling into the audience and assaulting a man on the way down. This proved to be merely a distraction for the "film crew" which took the opportunity the temporary chaos has provided to loot the dressing area. Stealing jewelry and expensive, one of a kind fashion pieces made especially for the show. But the crime did not stop there. While the security were attempting to pry "B" from the crowd, the mind behind the criminal act took the runway next, spraying graffiti across the decor. Thanks to the quick trigger fingers from the photographers gathered in the tent, the man was identified as Fl-ASS-ido Dong-Mingo A.K.A. Miguel Barchans, a self styled King of Couture. "The little man had no sense of fabric. Everything was glitter this and boa feathers that. It was trash not couture. Perhaps the glue fumes finally gotten to him." Said Cravlea Deville, a fashion critic for Italian Vogue. The motives behind Fl-Ass-ido's actions are believed to be vengeance. After being laughed out of the fashion world he had threatened several times to get back at his critics and that he would "show them all!" But what should have been a stunt to disrupt a runway show turned into something much more cinister. While Fl-ASS-ido was acting as a secondary distraction, a type of nerve gas, the authorities believe, was being pumped into the fashion tent. The effects were instantaneous. At first people laughed and then they fell into a light trance, possibly from the nerve gas although the evidence is still inconclusive as to what type of gas was used, which allowed for the other members of the "film crew" to rob them of their valuables. It was thanks to the altercation with the security guards and already increased police presence in the area that the crime was thwarted before it gained momentum to turn into something truly dangerous. Before things had a chance to progress beyond petty thievery the policia had rushed to the scene to apprehend the thieves. Fighting through a crowd of people who, panicked by the thought of nerve gas, have began making their way towards the exits. The fiasco that took place at the House of Red show appeared to be exactly that. Fl-ASS-ido's attempt to strike fear and terror into the heart of people who expected an evening of high fashion followed by Champagne and hors d'oeuvres afterwards. Miraculously, aside from a few scrapes and bruises, no one was seriously injured in the panic. With the majority of the would be thieves and "B" in custody, the mastermind Fl-ASS-ido Dong-Mingo is still on the lose and presumed Tacky. __________________
