Those of you who read Friday’s little cake post will already know what this is about: A couple of days ago, I accompanied my friend Maria to an event that took place at a fancy local hotel. One of Maria’s clients, José Luis Pinto from 05estudio (a local architecture and interior design company), was hosting a presentation for a bunch of millionaire Chinese investors.
The part I was looking forward to most eagerly (besides being tossed some tasty morsels of food and drowned in delicious Spanish wine), was a catwalk extravaganza courtesy of Presumidas, a fashion label created by two Spanish designers, Andrea Palau and Laura Richarte, both of them obsessed with the flouncy feminine flair of the 50’s.
Although I couldn’t wait for the strutting to start, I wondered whether the overseas business barons might think a parade of swishy skirts a tad superfluous… but, as it turned out, I needn’t have worried. Pictures speak louder than words, or however the saying goes…
(Note: I was poorly positioned against the light, so the quality of the images isn’t great. I altered some of them to detract from the graininess)
OK… so my future as a fashion photographer may be forever doomed after this, but it sure was fantastic fun 🙂
I think you did very well! The eyes on bums shots are fantastic 🙂

It was impossible to keep your eyes off those… I think I may have been turned… At least temporarily 😉

I like the fuller silhouettes and big floral prints are my jam. But the shorts… man, I am sure the investors are read to stick their, um, funds right in there!

I loved those shorts… not that I could wear them myself, but on those girls, they looked fabulous!
Ooooh, fund(ament)s! And the sad pun award goes to me 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the saucy bow in the first shot, just in case you didn’t know where to look! Only thing I might consider wearing is the red dress at the end….

There were lots more dresses like that, in different colours, but the photos turned out totally crap 😦

Sure, where else would you be looking?! Those shorts are fab. Not sure I’d get away with them anymore, but a girl can dream. I think I would have been too distracted to take any photos!

Frippery and fine ahem… features… how could any designer go wrong or audience be anything but distracted… I mean delighted?!
The shapely buttock shots clearly are a hit! With subjects like these, bound to score! Not that you haven’t snapped some fab photos. 🙂

Hot pants (short shorts) are back in style? Wow! I remember them well.
And that red dress, I think we all have a similar one in black. I like the flowered patterns, but I don’t think I look good in those full dresses.

Flouncy skirts don’t suit me either… what a bummer, I sure do love the look of them 😉
