All the charge, emotion and tension of back stage. The catwalk trials, the lights, blacks and whites, the smiles, the manicures, make-up.

Warm air.

The final moments before the girls come out. The packed venue, friends, hugs and embraces and the final touches while the models are lined up ready to go.

Darkness.

Light.

Music.

They’re off!

The photographers, the TV cameras, the reporters.

The first models come back in. They change in a rush. Flashes and flurries of confusion.

Final exit

Applause

Charge, energy, emotion.

Wow – thanks Ennio!
