The AF Vandevorst A/W 10-11 runway had models draped in billowing samurai-like robes. In true samurai style, all models were accessorized in thigh-high boots and long gloves up to their elbows (probably so they won’t leave fingerprints behind).
However, don’t expect to see samurais (as if you could ever catch an actual ninja in action) clamoring to get one of these outfits. These AF Vandevorst samurai outfits were created with flamboyant ruby-like colors. All shades of the precious gem were used in these samurai-robe creations.
