What is the Pantomime Fashion trend?
Pantomime Fashion: There has been a surge in French-inspired fashion over the past year; more specifically, designers and fashion directors are focusing on pantomimes and mime artists, which give designs and editorials a chic theatrical twist. A mime artist must be expressive since his performance rests on not using speech; this translates well into fashion design and fashion features, delivering an unparalleled dramatic, expressive and story-telling element to effectively showcase the clothes and designs.
