FASHION SHOW RUNWAY - Enthusiastic hosts take the stage. They are dressed in euro chic with a military edge. Music for fashion show up and under. Coloured lights circle flash bulbs pop. Ramon Hello and welcome to Fashion File, I’m Ramon Champignon. Citroen And I’m Citroen Pamplemousse we’re backstage peeking into the world of El Fashid Aridi, the Lebanese designer whose line of vehemently anti-Israeli spring casuals were the hit of last season’s Paris Expo. Aridi launched his fall line in London tonight with the same flair and disregard for human life that have made him the enfant terrible of high fashion and international terrorism. Ramon Bold colors and vibrant patterns were the watchwords in a departure from minimalism. That one unidentified but mortally wounded representative of Interpol could only describe as, “breathtaking.” But while his palette may have broadened, don’t think for a second that his mind has. Aridi continued his long tradition of wildly inflammatory accessorization that has frayed the nerves and tested the limits of government officials the world over. SFX: Distant screaming and siren wails throughout growing louder. Citroen With fashions highest paid photographers and agents of the Mossad tussling for position, Aridi launched a fashion Jihad that left Allah gasping for more. Cuddly cringing Kate Moss was unveiled in a wildly colored Kevlar dickey that reflected Aridi’s continuing fascination with impact resistant fabrics. Kate seemed dazed and unsteady throughout and appears back in top form! Ramon But, let’s not forget Naomi Campbell whose rock-hard dismembered torso was jettisoned from backstage as a warning to the SAS to keep its distance. At curtain Aridi could be glimpsed striding defiantly down the runway waving a French visa and slinging rubble at the likes of Anna Nicole Smith, Demi Moore and Elton John. Citroen Its was good to see Elton out and about in London again. This festive halter-top, with matching gloves, shoes, and lead-lined purse combines the gay, come-what-may spirit of the sixties with the durable all weather bulk of a Russian-made flak jacket. Backstage, a mortally wounded, Karl Laggerfeld was heard to quip that Aridi had, “covered the infidel from head to toe and sent them strutting towards Mecca.” Aridi took the runway by storm in a fashion Jihad featuring a lethal series of Bob Mackie inspired creations that would leave Allah gasping for more. Ramon The embossed lettering stitched pell-mell across this one-of-a-kind calf’s skin belt likens the late David Ben Gurion to the business end of a dyspeptic camel. While this delicately woven demi-veil, suggests a canine connection in the birth of Golda Meir. Citroen In short, the show only served to confirm what those in the know have been saying for years that whether on the Left bank. Ramon Or the West bank.. Citroen A short life… Ramon And a bright future are in store for the young man with a chip on his shoulder… Citroen And a price on his head. Ramon and Citroen Ciao! A bomb clears the stage as models strut their stuff. copyright 2002 www.lestermcfwap.com
