Special reporter Renu takes you backstage at the 'B-Rude by Boy George' fashion show... On Thursday September 15, 2005 George showcased B-Rude's Spring 2006 collection at New York Fashion Week. Outside, the queue to get in stretched down the block, with a teeming crowd of the flashily dressed. Inside, a definite buzz in the air could be felt, filled with anticipation of what was to come. Those who know Boy George for his music en style, were all excited to see what he had come up with this time, his second NYC Fashion Week runway extravaganza. Most of the front row seats were filled by the dictators of the klub kid scene ( Debbie Harry, Richie Rich and Traver Rains of Heatherette ,Kenny Kenny, well-respected and feared door bitch of the NY club scene). The show kicked off with a bright pink long skirt and matching black polka dot jacket. Next up was a variety of different prints; decorative, sequined crabs and scarabs, anarchy signs and flower prints. Other outfits included bondage-style straps, a t - shirt dress with the imprint :"My Lips Are Not Sealed", and a baby doll style item for the girls. Of course, Boy George wouldn't be Boy George if he hadn't designed a few striking garments for the boys as well. What about a few nice latex items, such as swimwear and a polo shirt on rainbow sequined trousers. While last season Richie Rich and Aimee Phillips from Heatherette were among the B-Rude models, this season Miss Guy and Sophia Lamar represented the NYC nightlife to walk down the catwalk. Also, Janice Dickinson was yet another famous model strutting her stuff down the catwalk, wearing a black and green kimono style outfit. And to top off a show that in itself already felt like a party, one could further enjoy oneself backstage at the cocktail bar and buffet. Naturally, a frantic bustle aroused, when everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of Boy George. Numerous celebrities also went backstage, which again caused for lots of camera and film crews to fill up the backstage area. Sophia Lamar and Janice Dickenson formed the centre of attention for the press, but also the gorgeous models with their Mohawks and spray-painted fluorescent make-up. The overall atmosphere was laid-back and liberal, as one might expect from Boy George, with no hassle whatsoever of grumpy bodyguards and other nasty personalities.
