After 2 days of non stop party control by the trans and drum and bases rythm, the time is come to get back to the normal daylight rythm.
The presentation of the Summer Collection 2005. Frapbois a japanese compagny with a french name (Frapper = hit , Bois = wood) bring us to the BIGI building. What I will never had expected is the whole crazy concept arround this show.
If you want to work and have fun to the same time, Eri Utsugi can give you the opportunity to have it. This Tokyo designer fits exactly in what I m allways doing when I work ! Take the job serious but not myself. As I saw her for the first time in the casting I was thinking that this women gets a permanent smile and like a sun hit you with his rays, Utsugi hit me with her smile. So impossible not to respond with the same big smile, reflecting her happyness and also a lot of fun, their clothe are light, easy to wear, and colored ! Her work for summer 2005 will reflect dynamism and fantasy.
Sadly again I couldn t take some picture of the show (sometimes I m sad that I can t clone myself), so you get screenshots from the after show. But beeing part of the show was quite crazy for me again, giving me new experience and great emotions.
Imagine a big "allee" crowded with people on both side. The roof will be filled by tousend of hanging light that will change color or turn on/off with the rythm of a funny music. The floor will be more than a simple floor, more than a decoration, it will be a very important factor of how and where we will walk. Impossible to say in advance where exactly we will put our feets simple because the concept will not allowed any ''SECURITY". Dynamism and movement, yes movement is the common factor of everything. From the clothes, to the light to the music, even to the haircuts.
The control of the whole design made to push the people to move and have fun. We the models will be confronted not only to wear the clothe but to play a game.
Actualy the floor is a game. All allong the way for the defile, some geometric forms, square, triangles, narrows and round will define a rule. Adding to that they are from different color. Each person will be attribuated a color few second before presenting the clothes. If you go on:

a square = continue your walk
a round = 2 sec stop on same spot
a triangle = jump
a narrow = run

and so the show begins, making anybody impossible to anticipate anything.
...the defile is great, funny and the clothe permit the freedom of the body mouvement. Something not allways possible when you wear something....
The girls are playing the game with some crazy Haircuts, making the everything more caricatural. Its a lot of fun and this game change the whole Idee and clichee of a Fashion Show. Its break any rules and is in fact a good vision of what Japan is missing in a big amount:. RULES BREAKER. But there are few of them and I lucky to be part of one of the creators work. At the moment when I enter into the allee I become a part of Utsugi s world. I stay myself but go out of me into a crazy PALACIO (my modeling name), some people may say that I allways am crazy but this time its not my crazyness but the one the designer allow me to be. The music, the floor, the light and the clothes emphasis the tales caracter inside me.
Do the clothe change the people, or the people change the clothe ? I don t now in this case ?
Of course my friends are here. Mr COOL (Derrick) as allways on the same wave. Then Julien alias Mister Short-head (because he allways get a costume with a short on allmost all his defile). Then we have Greg (a French too, easy going) wearing a quite cloony funny pant.

Well should write more ?...
