Listen up, people. I have something important to say about these so-called “influencers” who think they can just waltz into Paris Fashion Week and turn it into a Halloween sideshow. I’m talking about people like Lisa Rinna and a handful of others who decided that it was a good idea to show up looking like a cross between a super scary devil and a plastic surgery experiment gone wrong. And let me tell you, it wasn’t a good idea at all.
Let’s start with Lisa Rinna. Now, I don’t know what she was thinking when she decided to dress up like some sort of demonic creature, complete with over-the-top makeup and an outfit that was more suited for a haunted house than a fashion event. And don’t even get me started on her plastic surgery. I mean, when does it stop? When does the quest for perfection turn into a grotesque distortion of the human form?
But it’s not just Lisa Rinna who’s to blame. There were others who also decided to hop on the Halloween bandwagon, going so far as to wear fake fangs and creepy contact lenses. And for what? To garner attention? To shock and awe? To make a mockery of an event that is meant to showcase the very best in fashion and design?
I understand that fashion is about expression and pushing boundaries, but there’s a line, and it was crossed. Paris Fashion Week is a prestigious event that brings together designers, models, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world. It’s a time to celebrate creativity and innovation, not to parade around in costumes that belong in a horror movie.
And let’s not forget the impact that these antics have on the fashion industry as a whole. When influencers and celebrities treat an event like Paris Fashion Week as a mere playground for their outlandish stunts, it takes away from the hard work and talent of the designers and artists who have dedicated their lives to their craft. It cheapens the experience for those who are truly passionate about fashion, turning it into nothing more than a spectacle.
I have to wonder, what kind of message are these influencers sending to their followers and fans? That it’s okay to disregard the seriousness and significance of an event in favor of self-promotion and shock value? That it’s acceptable to trivialize an industry that is built on creativity and artistry?
I can’t help but feel disappointed and even a little angry at the lack of respect shown by these influencers. It’s a slap in the face to those who have worked tirelessly to make Paris Fashion Week the global phenomenon that it is. It’s a disservice to the designers and artists who pour their hearts and souls into their work, only to have it overshadowed by the antics of attention-hungry individuals.
So, Lisa Rinna and the others who turned Paris Fashion Week into a Halloween sideshow, I have one thing to say to you: Take a good, hard look in the mirror and ask yourself if this is the legacy you want to leave behind. Is this the mark you want to make on an industry that you claim to be a part of? Is this the example you want to set for those who look up to you?
I, for one, hope that we can all learn from this unfortunate display of hubris and vanity. Let’s remember the true spirit of fashion and artistry, and let’s show a little more respect for the events and the people who make them what they are. Let’s leave the Halloween costumes for October 31st and keep Paris Fashion Week sacred. Thank you.
