Bizarre fashion show ends with mud wrestling

A New York fashion show ended with a bunch of women looking stupid and not wearing their clothes properly. However, this particular show was unusual in that it was intentional. Elena Velez’s spring/summer collection 2024 featured models (or ‘anti-heroines’ as she insisted on calling them in the program notes, or what the designer called a ‘manifesto’) trudging through mud, which was intended to turn the catwalk into some kind of swamp. The ‘anti-heroines,’ clad in a mixture of traditional fabrics and ‘debris,’ struggled to move in the mud before eventually giving up and having an all-out brawl and ripping each other’s clothes off.
