Das Komittee

Das Komittee were the final act and indeed intriguing, seeing as they actually came from Germany. With attention to romantic notions, outfits that reminded this author of outfits once worn in the American civil war of the 1860’s, provocative buttoning and wide woolen sheath jackets it was a refreshing delight to see the boys and girls thump down the runway. By this stage, humanity was not on Das Komittee’s side and the hissing from the paparazzi continued and the audience couldn’t barely hold their attention. Well it was 11p.m by now and altough and Alex and Simon had had their dinner the rest of us had not and were clearly agitated. A brave effort and continued refining and experiment should see Das Komittee build a kindred following down the road.

By the end it was all done and said and the world was relieved, and as this author looked around him he came across the sudden visage of the show’s organizer- Mr Rick Davy who was silently looking out into space and probably thinking to himself:

“Yes, it was a disaster, but at least it was a delicious disaster.”

  1. Hi Scallywag, we were in a little room next to the changing rooms since 7pm. Simon kept asking everyone including Ricky Davy when to go up and we were told to wait. I came out a few time to take pictures of the show and was surprised that the timeline for the entire event for skewed. I wished we were in Cherry Hill, it would have been more fun I suppose.

  2. I also loved the young model, Gina Cattanach, who walked for Terri Stevens and Alicia Trimble. She had the walk and attitude of a Super Model. It’s too bad the industry discounts people who are not tall enough! There are many designers missing out on a great young model!

  3. I walked for DAS KOMITTEE, TERRY STEVENS, ALISHA TRIMBLE and ANDREA PITTER and the audience clapped for me=)

  4. I enjoyed Terri Stevens collection.. I thought the young model who walked was fantastic.
    Also, i don’t see any pictures from Alisha Trimble, why?

  5. Sorry, I guess i misinterpreted this line.

    “By this stage, humanity was not on Das Komittee’s side and the hissing from the paparazzi continued and the audience couldn’t barely hold their attention.”

  6. No in fact I have been rather accurate on all counts.

    To reiterate there was no hissing or booing during Das Komittee’s presentation. Not once do I claim during that designer’s showing was there disregard from members of the press. Although to be honest half of them were by then half asleep and resigned to the ill organizing of the show. The designer itself put up a brave front in fact.

    With respects to Terri Steven’s this is what I had to say:

    Terri Stevens who simply bored the hell out of us and should never have been invited in the first place. Boring, trite and save for the occasional gold sequined jacket, a complete waste of time and aggravated assault on the audiences sensibilities.

    I trust things are clearer now.

  7. The writer obviously took some liberties with embellishments. I was there and I did not hear hissing and booing during Das Komitee’s presentation. In fact, her designs were the only ones that recieved applause. I also note that designer Terry Steven’s work was not mentioned when she was one of the stronger designers.

  8. When you say you were with Alex and Simon, was that at some restaurant in Cherry Hill, NJ? The mc- Dee Vasquez must have asked for Alex and Simon at least 89 times, and not once did we see the visage of their shiny selves, The first time humanity got a glimpse of the Tom and Jerry show wasn’t until 10.45, which by then no one cared.

    Why these silly misrepresentations of the truth?

  9. I was one of the photographers who was at the fashion show. I was with Alex, Simon and Derek and we were all waiting to be called since 7pm. It was a fun event but things did get late because of music performers taking a little longer with their acts. I will be posting pictures from the even on my website as well as FB soon. Check them out.

  10. I enjoyed the Plus Size models. Fat asses or not they were all beautiful.

    BIG GIRLS UNITED not UNITE ROCKED!!!!!

  11. The photos are horrible! Who shot that? Why didn’t you get shots from a real runway photographer instead of some low life paps?
