A Saudi Fashion Show Had Drones Flying Empty Dresses On The Runway Instead Of Having Models Wear Them And It Was Goddamn Electric

(Source)- If you’re looking for the world’s creepiest fashion show, look no further than Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh. The city’s recent fashion week featured clothes from some of the world’s most expensive designers — including Dolce & Gabbana — all of which were awkwardly shown off and modelled down the catwalk by drones.

Because why would you need six-foot models to show off $1000-plus gowns when you can hang it on a coathanger and float it down a runway instead? Saudi Arabia is still ultra-conservative, meaning Riyadh’s fashion week kept its audiences female-only and male fashion designers weren’t even allowed backstage at their own shows. According to local news site The New Arab, organisers for the fashion show said the use of drones was a first for the Middle Eastern country and said the odd technique had been used to make sure the show was “Ramadan appropriate”.

From the place that brought you that orb picture with Donald Trump and a SHIT LOAD of oil comes the fashion show straight out of a Dementor’s wet dream. I’m sure some countries watch the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and wonder why the hell Americans take some of the hottest women on the planet and dress them up like sexy flamingos and then you spend the rest of the night if you want to fuck a flamingo. Wait what? Anyway, the Middle East always seems to have a way to pull a complete 180 of what’s going on over here and that video may be the greatest example of that.

You know who must love this shit though? Fashion purists. People who got into threading needles and grinding on the sewing machine for the love of the game, not for some smokeshow to take attention away from the product they worked years on. Fashionistas must watch this Saudi Arabian fashion show like Reags watches a B1G rock fight college basketball game between two non-ranked teams in the middle of January. Only the people that truly appreciate the fine points of the craft will love it. No need to have some Zoolander or Hansel gum things up. It’s just about the clothes, something the real deal seamheads can enjoy. Not this nonsense*.

*JK, this shit is soooooo much better

P.S. I’d lose my Blogging License if I mentioned the orb picture and didn’t include it in this blog.
