Wet Dreams at Diesel

modelfish.jpg
Have you ever dreamed of seeing a model pursued down the runway by a giant blue glowing cephalopod?

Diesel made your dreams come true last night in Florence, during the show for their S/S 08 collection entitled ‘Liquid Space’.

Technicians projected holographic images of various sea creatures, which interacted with the real life models on the runway by scattering at their approach, puffing up in defense, or just swimming through them.

And then the models turn into holographs, piloting their own shimmering blue submarines.

Is this cooler than Alexander McQueen’s holographic Kate Moss?

Decide for yourself by watching the video here.

I think McQueen's Kate Moss was so emotional and is ingrained in my memory for life. Diesel's show was interesting, but I don't associate the same level of emotion to it.

I love this.. fashion shows should be spectacular. To entertain your audience with brilliant clothing, great music, and a feeling that you never forget is what all designers should aim for at their shows.

Innovation is the key

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and coming from fashionista.com, how could I be less than honored.

I'll say it again here. Kate @ McQueen was oh so much cooler.
