The catwalks are complicated these days. They should really come with a map.

Its location: L'Académie Fratellini, a famed circus school just north of Paris's city center. After enjoying complimentary fresh fruit and vegetable juices — I picked a broccoli-flavored one, I think, because I have the worst luck — showgoers filed into an arena of sorts, with blocks of seating surrounding a central, circular runway space.
There was a special Kenzo-branded SIGG water bottle on each seat. (The aluminum ones outdoorsy people take on long walks and camping trips, not that fashion people do that sort of thing because hiking boots are ugly.) I know it's considered gauche to take the freebies with you, but, goshdarnit, you can never have too many water bottles.
Like all the best theatrical productions, the show opened with curtains rising.
Four sets of wooden risers appeared behind heavy red velvet drapes, each featuring a tableau of ten male models.
It's like a game of musical statues, but everyone wins!
