Ana Locking's Spinning Destiny (F/W 2010 Collection) - Before & After

Ana Locking never disappoints. It's one of those shows you are looking forward, because you know that she's gonna present something new, original, always in a Locking's style. Furthermore, she adds a story to her collections that explains the whole look and unifies the different outfits. In this case, the title was "Spinning destiny", inspired by a painting game where you added the paint, and the machine would go round and round, creating fantastic shapes and drawings. That's how destiny works. You add the ingredients and fate does the rest. Ana talks about those things a lot, no matter how hard you work, the destiny will always play a part. But if the collection is as good as this one, no destiny can spoil it.

The futuristic cuts (and the Avatar hairstyle), the cheerful colours (winter is no synonymous of grey and black), and Ana's personal touch: the models walked along the runway next to the spinning circle, reached the end of the runway and left through the public exit. If we dress à la Ana Locking in 200 years, it'll be great (and we can do it now).

I visited the backstage minutes before the show and took some pictures.

-------------------

Ana Locking nunca defrauda. Es uno de estos desfiles a los que llegas con ganas porque sabes que va a presentar algo nuevo, original, pero dentro de su línea. Además, siempre consigue añadir a la colección una historia que explica todos los looks y los unifica. En este caso, el título era "Spinning destiny", inspirado en el juego "pintoyo", en el que cada uno aporta los colores y el giro del destino se encarga del resultado. Ana suele hablar mucho de la suerte, el destino, cómo por mucho que te esfuerces siempre hay un factor que no se puede controlar... Pero claro, si uno trabaja una colección como ésta, no hay destino que valga, el éxito está asegurado.

Los cortes futuristas (ayudados por los peinados estilo Avatar), los colores alegres (el invierno no es sinónimo de gris y negro), y el toque personal de Ana: los modelos salieron por la pasarela pasando por el círculo giratorio, caminaron hasta el final y se marcharon por la salida del público. Si en 200 años vestimos al estilo Ana Locking, será estupendo (además, podemos hacerlo ya).

Unos momentos antes del desfile estuve entre bambalinas e hice unas fotos.
