Event Strut

Well, I told you he was going to do something weird:

Those are models wearing Adam Arnold at Friday’s benefit for Basic Rights Oregon—not only are they sporting looks from this season’s clothing collection, but also masks Arnold made, telling his models only right before the show that they would be wearing them, and also encouraging them to improvise on the runway. The result was certainly weird, and I thought, quite hilarious. The audience didn’t seem to know what to do, the DJ I don’t think even noticed as he concentrated on spinning “Walk This Way,” and the models did everything from cute/creepy little girl poses to skipping to playing it straight. Meanwhile, Arnold’s head would periodically peep, grinning, from behind the curtain. I about fell out of my chair laughing. Needless to say, it was the most noteworthy episode of the night, though some of what came down the runway is quite worthy of notice as well. See shots of the other designers’ work by Minh Tran after the jump.
