Expect the Unexpected at Cabaret Voltaire
By: Michelle White
For: LA Splash
"As shouts of “Viva Dada!” rang out in the audience,
the fashion show began, showcasing Julie Plum’s designs for the
Klaklo line. Models sauntered out one by one in limited edition print
tee shirts inspired by Dada and made specifically for this event. Filtered
percussive music provided the sonic background, which elicited laughter
such as when a vaguely Asian-accented female voice proclaimed “Green
dot” over the music, and a model emerged in a pink shirt with a
large green “dot” on the sleeve and the side. The music incorporated
phrases in many languages, some as random as “Steamed yams. Candied
yams. Microwaved yams. George Forman yams.” And indeed, the models
would methodically regard their Swatch limited edition Cabaret Voltaire
Watches from the Swatch/Dada Collection, select an object off a table,
and present an audience member with the unexpected gift (ranging from
yams to broccoli to toy scissors). Some models smiled at the wacky humor
of it all, while some maintained a lofty, classic model’s attitude,
while all seemed at times like product demonstrators hamming it up. The
audience gave the show their rapt attention through the no-less-odd finish
when the models returned for a group bow and walked offstage with masks
attached to the back of their heads, as though their bodies were on backwards."
