      Why aren’t all ramp modeling shows like this? I’ve always thought the regular kind is one of the most boring cultural spectacles ever invented. Like a mannequin parade. Throw in some dance like this and it suddenly becomes watchable.https://twitter.com/K_JeanPierre/status/1182811999773904899 …

          I wonder how far we are from robots replacing runway models.

          That’s a very bleak reading of it 🤣 No, I just think European fashion simply went down a particular path of marketing evolution designed for consumption by industry insiders and gatekeepers long before television made entertainment value a question

          [2/2] walking and lounging (the latter of which is covered nicely in print ads), but there's a lot of "rebel" capital now, so maybe you see "danceability" become a template for a certain kind of brand?

          Yah the models are human clothes hangers Also because “rich white people culture” comes from European regal courts and is all about suppressing emotion, particularly joy.
