Who would have thought you could be sexy whilst riding a bike? Now you can! Tower Hamlets and Hackney councils organised the fashion show as a part of London Fashion week on the streets of the Columbia road. It is a quirky idea to combine the idea of cycling and fashion. The purpose of this event is to encourage more people to cycle around in London rather than using a car with dirty exhausts, so really this event promotes action against global warming.
There were six or seven designers presenting their collections there. All the clothes had light reflections so it sparkled when light hit the garment. I liked the cape, which looks like a simple brown tweed cape, but in flushes it goes to and from silver and black; I would love to wear that when I cycle around in London! During the show the models were riding the bikes and towards the end, fashion became a circus-like performance, as a boy and girl were doing tricks upon the bikes. He was riding a bike with out utilising the handles, and the girl was riding a unicycle with his handle and constantly swapping around on the seats.
It was very cute show – I felt very warm seeing these people show off their work and that so many people went to see it. There were a lot of cheers every time models walked onto the catwalk and I felt the power of a community. It reminds me of Brick Lane when it started to get regenerated.
