let’s talk about the AVAVAV fw24 show #fashionshow

[eliotonmars]

people need to understand that fashion shows like this aren't meant to showcase the clothing. Its essentially a living, breathing art exhibit. These models absolutely were aware of what was going to happen and not only agreed but practiced it before the actual show. The models who do these shows are essentially performance artists and they do amazing.

I’m a model, and I haven’t walked Avavav but from my experience in this industry I can 90% guarantee all of this was heavily planned and rehearsed beforehand. The models knew what they were getting into and so did their agents or models would simply not work these shows anymore. Nothing is “illegal” or “cruel”, the whole show is a performance and models often take on different persona for a show including acting like it’s all falling apart. Chances are even the people throwing trash were plants in the audience as opposed to actual audience members instructed to throw trash. Personally I think Avavav is making an interesting commentary on the industry at large and I could honestly write an essay on the subtext of the last 2 collections.

Hopefully the models were compensated very well for the trash throwing and the running show.
At least some seemed to be taking it well, a few looked like they were trying not to laugh.

I fucking LOVED their show last year—chaotic, artistic, manic, engaging… totally underrated but I understand why a lot of people wouldn’t call it their fave-it takes all types! ^^

They better have paid those models 10x their regular rate because wtf?

[Madkalibyr]

I like the idea tbh but I’d watch it more as an artistic performance than a clothing collection

[davi-ezig]

girl I LOVED THAT SHOW. it’s so inspiring, fashion design student here and it really made me emotional and feel motivated 😭

[Rubberduckyinatub]

You could tell the girl in the red was having fun when she smiled after she fell 😭

[lunamathias-simpson]

I love the fact some models were laughing too😭

[hawks]

Bro that one girl who didn’t even have a shirt on deserves more than she’s usually paid

[Cherrycokexox]

I loved it tbh. And as for the models, they obviously knew what they were getting into beforehand

[bigchungus]

Guys don’t bully us we’re a poor high end fashion brand 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[randomshorts]

I love avavav for their creative ideas everytime😂😂

[videodude]

Now if the irony here is if the runway show was intentionally made for “shock-performance” purposes then I’d give it an A+ if that was the intent. I think the problem is we live in such a high sensitive world right now where people took to too literal they found it upsetting and insulting as opposed to being provocative.

[Panda_Rose]

How much money would I deem is acceptable to have garbage thrown at me by rich people?

[Stephwillmeth]

Definitely makes a statement, just an interesting way to do it. Probably a smart business idea because everyone will be talking about the brand, whether in a negative or positive way. & they’ll probably end up making more money.

I thought the first show was funny and entertaining to watch, it was humorous having the models getting dress as they walked, and fitted with the casual nature of the clothes. It'd be interesting to hear from the models involved but they look like they are enjoying it, even the girl who fell seems to be laughing. I feel like it might have made a refreshing change for everyone.

This has to be the best modeling exhibit I’ve ever seen, like most of the time I’m so bored watching these shows, but man this one really showed you what they’re trying to say and hooks your attention so fast. The models and the clothes and everything was so

[rifa]

ngl the gimmicks are impressive but thats all the brand is. even mcqueen used artistic gimmicks but people still paid attention to the clothes as well but i dont think thats the case with this brand

[gamingbypix]

I liked the commentary on fast fashion the first time and i love this too so 💖
