“Hashtag LFW”

by A_F_R_O_W

On the eve of London Fashion Week,

conscious crowds of cognoscenti,

catwalk streets,

seek sneak peeks

of all-things designer, emerging,

devastatingly unique.

Names-to-know

and to-be-known,

stand side-by-side,

in scheduled lines,

but wait…

the coup, is to be fashionably late…

Pull-up, just outside of time,

to kiss the air with countless creatives,

who have a date with bated breath,

to ponder the result of

pieces they had seen,

in toiles

and prelim states.

Art-in-motion, is their stylised fate.

Out -the-gate,

the scenic standard sets the mood…

Lumens brightly skate and bounce

off shades,

as technique has its shining moment,

leaves the runway

and then quickly fades

from view…

… that’s the time technology comes through.

Filmed finales,

uploads, downloads,

complement the see-now, buy-now multitude..

… But that is all en route…

Today, is just the interlude…

Upon the morrow,

 workin’ it, from B.T.S to L.F.W,

will dictate gilt-edged grit,

accessorised with

fierce-time, face-time…

 stone-cold style

and

street-wise, hi-vis attitude…
