Montreal Festimania Mode et Design by Dan Lester.
Lingerie shows. Never given to the most fashion forward of occasions, medical but nonetheless the annual Oh La La Défilé Lingerie has become something of a highlight for Festival Mode et Fashion. Standing in the packed media area to watch the show I levelled my expectations to meet the occasion: lots of beautiful underwear worn by outrageously leggy models with tiny pert bottoms, more about owing precisely nowt to the world of high fashion. Check. I was right and the boyfriend was very pleased.
But what I hadn’t bargained for was the presence of a very enthusiastic (small) French rapper. Not to mention some supremely well oiled male models in spotty socks who got the biggest cheers of the evening. What fun!
