So instead of the standard fashion models they normally use during high fashion runway shows, he used an actual step-dancing team. I find high fashion is usually not something I'm concerned with, but I thought this was an interesting show when I heard about it, when I watched the video I was more impressed. Models aren't meant to smile in the first place, or distract from the clothing in any way, but the clothing is usually pretty s**t(in my opinion) and it's not like most of it is what is sold and worn in any country, it's all meant to be a big show. I get that, but I was really surprised at how many people outside the high fashion world were complaining about this...

This isn't something I felt was related to the women's section because it's high fashion, but rather because there was a representation of women that was so out of the bounds of what the fashion world usually offers.

I love the intimidation faces the dancers are doing.

Anyway, what do you think of this?
