Hi students!First of all, congratulations on your fantastic Fashion Show the other day! Your attitude was excellent and your descriptions, quite accurate, so I couldn't be happier! Just remember to pay attention to adjective order (opinion, size, colour, material...). There are many fashion shows around the world, and those who are interested in fashion never niss them, in order to know the new trends that are coming. In my opinion, they should forget about NY, London, Paris or Milan Fashion Weeks and pay attention to our EOI Fashion Show, don't you agree? :)
Would you like to watch a video from a real Fashion Show? This one belongs to NY Fashion Week, one of the important ones in the world. For a week, designers from all over the world present their new collections, trying to impress the audience and make them want to buy their clothes. In their runway shows, they invite celebrities and people with a big social influence, in order to advertise their collections and make them reach a wider audience. Also, in this video, you'll see someone you might know, someone who proves you don't need to be a native speaker in order to speak good English.

And, now, in order to practice all this new vocabulary you've recently learnt, you can do these listening and reading exercises:
Whether you're interested in fashion or not, no one can deny that it's one of the most popular topics in the media at present time. In the news, the movies or magazines, we can learn about the latest fashion trends and which clothes seem to be "in" or "out". The most prestigious and respected magazine, according to fashion experts, is Vogue. If you'd like to know what's in fashion at the moment, Vogue is your magazine. This is Vogue's official website:
As for movies and TV, one of the most influential shows in terms of fashion has been Sex and the City. This TV show was firstly based on the love stories of 4 friends living in NYC. However, with the pass of time, the audience started to pay special attention on the clothes the characters were wearing. Designers saw this, and started to advertise themselves in the show, having the characters wear their clothes and shop in their stores. This show contributed, for instance, to the big international success of the Spanish shoemaker Manolo Blahnik, since its protagonist, Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), loved his shoes and wore them all the time. The show was so succesful that, after it ended, they decided to make 2 movies. On the following video, you can watch the importance fashion has in the movies:
However, whether you follow the lastest fashion trends or not, whether you're "in" or "out", according to fashion experts, what's important, after all, is for you to feel comfortable and satisfied with the clothes you wear, which you certainly showed me in our Fashion Show, so congratulations to you all!
See you in class
