FASHION SHOW (1976)

[11:50]
After some easily improvised fashion shows
in locations at or near to fabrikneu
like
MODE IM TIERGARTEN
(this film has gone south)
»
MODE IM HOF
and
»
KREUZBERG FASHION
(all 1973 - 1974)
Claudia tried some more places too
to present her fashion in a more
narrative or location inspired way
as she organized a billiard room to show
»
MODE IM ATRIUM
also in 1973.
In 1975 Claudia started to set up
bigger fashion events in fabrikneu.
The second show of this kind she named
SHAKE YOUR HIPS.
Claudia's husband - the sculptor
JÜRGEN SKODA
built a polyester tropical island
in the large media room in the fabrikneu attic
where the models showed
Claudia's 1976 collection
in front of an excited audience
to a wild mixture of 50s and 60s music.
The concept of combining fashion, art and music
was now Claudia's favorite concept - until today.
