Who knew Bellevue had a fashion week? I'm not saying it's the caliber of New York or Milan, but the fashion shows were still a treat for this new Seattle transplant.
The shows were held in the Bellevue Square Mall and had participation from almost all the vendors in the mall. Some of the vendors had models cat-walking on the two stages set up for the show, others gave discounts in their stores, and still others held private evening cocktail parties for their clients. Although I walked into the party late - Sunday afternoon to be exact - I did manage to catch a few remaining shows. Besides, take it from me, even if you are attending the poshest designer shows (which I have in the past), a fashion show is exciting for only about two minutes; after that the clothes will begin to merge together into a big blob in your mind, and you will start to question the absurdity of the flouncy high collared blouse with the insane black ribbon threading in and out of the lace covered sleeves, no matter how in-style the blouse will be at the moment. That's why fashion shows rarely ever go over 10 minutes. If you don't believe me, time the next one you attend.
I took a few photos of the Oilily show, which had some of the thinnest models I have ever seen teetering on some of the highest heels ever constructed. Kudos to everyone for finishing the show without a stumbling incident.
