So Last night we went to the Cape Town Fashion week, the Black Coffee exhibition. We arrived there about 6pm and started taking photos of some well dressed fashion freaks, walked around for a few minutes and started wondering where the heck to go. There was a lounge but we just stood around acting like we know someone. It was me and two girls with me so at least the company was good.
Eventually we went for the queues, although we did not know it was the queues and by that time it was around 6:50pm and we were kinda bored, no beer thus far could be found so was getting real boring.
Around 7:10 the well dressed security opened the rope and we all marched in what looked like a scene from dracula, massive long drapes hanging from the roof and just around the corner behold, the catwalk.
So we sit and watch people coming in bearing in mind the show had to start about 25 minutes ago and by this time it was around 7:25. Some guy was just repeating himself like a broken record saying you’re gonna lose your seat if you dont sit down. By this time I stopped worrying about the time, watching the Thunda.com people taking photos and me taking photos of them taking photos.
So eventually the lights went off followed by some loud music and 3 ads we have probably all seen on tv. It was like a giant show of sabc.
A bit later some other lights go on and this camel (model) walks out looking like a tree that got nuked by the wind. Fascinating I thought here goes the photos. So it finally started.
There came about 10-15 models out before I could even figure out who made the clothes, i noticed some of the small outfits while trying to get my camera to unjam.
Suddenly it was finished and people started running. Sitting in total shock and horror the entire show that we had to pitch up 100 bucks each was over. It was less than 10 minutes. What a total waste of money. For me at least.
When we finally got out of shock and figured we had to get out of there before they come bug us we joined the heard of people pushing for the door all in their skimpy model clothes. So much for fun I thought.
Afterwards we just walked around and I thought i’d just waste the rest of the space on the camera and go photo wild. Got some nice ones though.
La Med was next and the conversation and beer was nice but they closed like 10pm.
That was the end of the night.
