The venue is everything

To have a beautiful fashion show, the clothes isn't everything. Most of the time the clothes speak for itself, but very often the venue and the settings of the show gives the collection that little bit extra. The set designers had glorified days a year or two ago, before the whole world got itself in to a huge financial problem. It's clear to see that the fashion show sets today is much more toned down which I find very beautiful. The chosen venues are very simple and clean. One or two years ago when the bigger was better, the feeling is today less is more.
 Another thing that is changed in the fashion world about the shows, is not only the settings, but also the people who are invited. Some seasons ago the fashion houses almost competed about who had the most Hollywood ladies on the front
row. Today that is change, so that the famous people is no longer such a big a part of the shows. On the front row sits now the people who actually knows about fashion and work in the business. Here is some pictures of some of the venues from the Chanel, Vera Wang and Marc Jacob's shows. Chanel's show in Grand Palais in Paris. Vera Wang's white settings in New York. And Marc Jacob's orange carpet also in New York.
