Wig designer breaks fashion’s last taboo with naked models on catwalk
September 20th, 2010 - 1:47 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sept 20 (ANI): A wig designer has broken fashion’s last taboo after he sent models walking nude down the catwalk in just hot pink high-heeled boots, hats, bags, and wigs.
Charlie Le Mindu, 24, whose creations are worn by singer Lady Gaga, caused quite a stir at London Fashion Week, and many of the assembled fashionistas did not know where to look.
French-born Le Mindu, who launched his label just a year ago, has managed to grab the headlines, and not only for his outlandish headgear.
At last year’s Fashion Week, he unveiled a full-face headdress made of real mice and rat carcasses, which outraged animal rights activists.
He was asked if he was worried about the public’s reaction.
“It’s better to make them (the rodents) beautiful than give them to the snakes,” the Daily Mail quoted him as having said. (ANI)
