As an editor of Trend Hunter, I've made a lot of wild discoveries. In the fashion field, in particular, it's amused me to see the different ways in which designers stage their creativity on the runways.

This gallery highlights some of the top live fashion moments, from ground-breaking venues like the Fendi show which took place on the Great Wall of China, to controversial models which have included seniors and real gypsies, to holographic fashion shows.
