From Charlie LeMindu's show (you may have seen samples at the Supermodel/Runway thread: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...&postcount=677 ) that started with this model (first picture), here are some backstage shots (if you wonder why the last one was included, click to enlarge and check the wall behind the model - above the headshots- those would make nice souvenirs!)...

Description:

"Charlie Le Mindu’s graphic AW11 show opened in darkness. As twisted electronic music blasted out, a lone, nude model appeared on the runway dripping in blood red paint and wearing a sign balanced on her head emblazoned with the word ‘Violence’... When bottles of blood and a children’s paddling pool are found backstage you know controversial Charlie Le Mindu has arrived in the studio. The designer took on the role of butcher behind the scenes at his AW11 show. “Charlie, do you want to do the blood?” yelled a stylist. Wearing a beige apron, Le Mindu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get dirty. A shrieking model stood naked in the paddling pool while Le Mindu drenched her in blood – theatrical rather than real – we think. Stylists cried “who wants some!” as models, dressed in gas masks and bird wings, backed away from the pool. Elsewhere body paint was applied to models’ skin to create an eerie mannequin-like look. In another room, a model with a two-foot mohican had her face pressed sideways on a table whilst stylists smothered her hair in L’Oreal Professionnel holding products. Le Mindu then spray-painted the finished hair creation with graffiti."
