Trainwrecks On The Runway At Portland Fashion Week ’09
Apparently the greenest thing about Portland Fashion Week is actually its DJ. Opening night of PFW was off to rough start with some rather ambitious music mixes by a DJ one can only guess was some executive’s little brother. Check out the musical stylings at Vigor Industrial, and you will see what I’m talking about. Ouch!
Sadly Defyance was not the only designer suffering from DJ trainwreck hell. Sportswear line Icebreaker was murdered by the tasteless 90′s classic “Ice Ice Baby” crashing into some whimsical Indie Rock jam. And then, WHAM!
Sorry to do that to you, the innocent reader of In The Loop. Thank goodness WHAM was there to finish it off. I never realized how soothing George Michael could actually be.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Am I crazy or does the whole situation just make you go, “WTF?! Just pay a professional DJ!” Sorry to go Perez Hilton on you, but it’s fashion week y’all. C’mon.
The DJ must be multi-tasking… little like having three plates spinning at once. It’s hard to tell because the music is added later… I prefer my fashion videos showing the strut of the models to the music they’re hearing, otherwise it just kills it, looks dead on the screen.
Seems crazy that they wouldn’t replace terrible mixes with something palatable for the video.
The clothes were ok, the music is totally sexist. Drink all day party all nite. What kind of roll model are you creating? You have an obilgation to your followers.
