not exactly a Cat-walk, quite attractive though !!

 

Today’s pic post comes at a time when most of you are likely to hit the bed ..  Good night message – with a photo of a walk !  ~  nay, not a Catwalk !! 

About two decades + ago, in the Cable TV – men would be watching this channel with most people at home sleeping – it was more of a fashion parade.  F TV.  Since its inception in 1997, FashionTV has set high standards of excellence in fashion and lifestyle broadcasting. The only TV equivalent to fashion print media appealing to everyone interested in fashion, style, beauty and trends, FashionTV  caters to its audience by providing lot of fashion shows.   

 

To them, fashion is the form of self-expression and self-celebration. It also implies the looks defined by the fashion industry as trending. The clothing, accessories, footwear, make-up, hairstyle, and body posture, all fall under fashion. The difference in cultures and countries lead to different fashion trends going around the world at the same time.  Fashion is generally distinctive and industry-supported expression and is conventionally tied to the fashion seasons and collections.   

FTV is in news for wrong reasons, as this month, Economic Offence Wing (EOW) has initiated a preliminary enquiry against Kashiff Khan, managing director of Fashion TV, based on a complaint filed by Indus Lexus Consulting Pvt Ltd, which represents Fashion TV in India, alleging fraud and cheating amounting to Rs 142 crore. According to the complaint filed by Yogesh Radhakrishnan, who took over Indus Lexus from Micheal Adam, Khan sold franchisees of Fashion TV to investors and duped them of their money. 

Moving away, Fashion shows attracted people.  In a typical fashion show, models walk the catwalk dressed in the clothing created by the designer. Clothing is illuminated on the catwalk using lighting and special effects. The order in which each model walks out, wearing a specific outfit, is usually planned in accordance with the statement that the designer wants to make about their collection. 

So it was all about  ‘Cat Walk’  - a ramp walk with models showcasing designs by walking on the raised walkway.    

A  girl with the animal virtues and with the vices of her instincts, one of the most stränge and fascinating psychological studies was the subject matter of a fiction written more than a century ago.  It was a fascinating, wild, weird, somber story of a woman – the novel  :  The Cats' Bridge (German: Der Katzensteg)   by the German writer Hermann Sudermann was written in 1889. It was published in English in 1898 as Regina, or The Sins of the Fathers, translated by Beatrice Marshall.  In 1927 it hit screens as ‘the Cat Walk’ – a   German silent drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Lissy Arna, Jack Trevor, and Andreas Behrens-Klausen.  The film premiered at the Capital am Zoo in Berlin

 

This morning attractive White pigeons staged a Cat-walk infront of me.
