From the department of better late than never: The Rake‘s fabulous online editor, Cristina Cordova, was at Voltage this year, too, where she gathered the following video outtakes.
This first one includes great footage of the night’s opening act, Dance Band, along with runway accompaniment by Annie Larson (you know, those jumpers I mentioned in the previous post) as well as the relatively unfinished looks of Labrador. To throw ’em a bone, I’ll admit that I’m coveting Labrador’s strappy green, orange, and white dress (the second to last women’s outfit seen here). But, uh, does that come in a D-cup, please? Also included in this video: Killer panty shot!
This next video features infectious pop by a band called the Mood Swings. I particularly like ’em cuz the lead chanteuse, Sallie Watson, comes straight from one of my fave ’90s local bands, Lily Liver. (She’s also a buyer at Macy’s, according to the program notes.) And as far as the fashion show goes: The moon hung low on its black chord … when pieces by Peloria, a designer exploring the “connection of architectural fibers,” attached some heavy-metal hardware to her dresses and sent their asses draggin’ on down the runway. Nextup was Kjurek Couture: billowy and/or gushing florals. Friends, these are the dresses your boyfriend wishes you would wear.
Last but not least: Now that I’ve given George Moskal’s line a second look, I finally see the nod to Little Edie Beale. Pay special attention, folks, to Moskal’s first and second outfits. They’re fabulous! Second up was Ra’Mon Lawrence, who wowed the audience with his reversible and even transformable clothes. Presto! A cropped jacket became a long dress; a sash became a floor-length skirt. Note the trio of babes who open Lawrence’s presentation. The one in the middle inspired someone in the audience to shout: “Good hair, girl!”
And that’s all she (C.D., who contributed this commentary) wrote.
