- Story Text: Paris, New York, Milan and London on Thursday (September 15) were the four great capitals represented in the second edition of "the world's largest fashion show", organised in the whole of France until Saturday.
The first part took place on Thursday with 800 models, all anonymous fashion lovers from the street, who marched down a giant catwalk in the centre of Paris between the Opera Garnier and the Galleries Lafayette department store who organised the event.
The participants, each with their own idea, from different ages and origins, brought true energy and delight to the catwalk.
They each had to bring their idea of today's street fashion as they see it in the four big fashion capitals of today.
On Saturday, around 5000 one-day models will also be bringing their own idea of fashion to the catwalks across 50 French towns, beating the world record of the most models taking part in a single fashion show.
Another world record was beaten during the Paris show, that of the biggest number of wedding dresses on one catwalk. Sixty five brides, who all had to be married to participate, got the chance to wear their dress once again the time of a catwalk.
"It was above all so that I could wear my dress again because I will never be able to do so again. And also to have my hair done and have make up, something more original than for my wedding, it was great," said Amandine Arodouin who married in August this year.
Judges from the Guinness World Records were there to watch and awarded the record for the longest line of brides on a catwalk:
"Well all the brides had to walk the catwalk and literally show off their dresses and all 65 of them really took part, they were all a bit nervous but they achieved it and it was a great record and I'm not married but they look so beautiful that, you know, I'm tempted," said Guinness World Record judge Anna Orford.
69 year-old English DJ Ruth Flowers, also known as Mamy Rock, was in charge of the music. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
