- Story Text: - INTRO: The murky depths of the Moscow metro were the unlikely site for a fashion show when Givenchy's Autumn and Winter 97-98 collection were presented in Russia.
High fashion left luxurious halls behind on Sunday (November 16) when it descended into the cold Stalinist interior of a Moscow underground train station for the presentation of Givenchy's 1997-1998 Autumn and Winter collection.
A special train brought the guests of the show from Mayakovskaya metro station in the centre of Moscow into a dark underground hangar where a catwalk was sandwiched between two trains.
The show, staged by Givenchy chief designer Alexandre McQueen, was described by observers as the "oddest-ever show" yet.
McQueen, who is on a promotional tour in Russia, made sure he attracted the public's attention for his show, by staging it two days before the official start of high fashion week in Moscow.
