London Fashion Week

Italian designer Georgio Armani showed his pretty dresses at one of the most extravagant events of the week. His Giorgio Armani 'Red' One Night Only Show on Sept. 21, 2006 featured a performance by Beyonce Knowles and a guest list that included rocker Bono and rapper 50 Cent.

How do you get rock star/charitable crusader Bono to show up at your fashion party? Add a splash of red to proclaim your intention of joining his campaign to fight AIDS in Africa. Here, Bono arrives at the Emporio Armani One Night Only Fashion show Sept. 21, 2006 in London. At the risk of adding a frivolous note that jars with his serious intentions, we must point out that Bono just got a serious haircut.

Fresh off his court-ordered stint sweeping the streets of New York, singer and designer Boy George walked the catwalk at the end of the show for his B-Rude fashion label during London Fashion Week on Sept. 22, 2006.

Speaking of B-Rude, it was pretty rude to mess up the face of this very pretty model just before she took to the catwalk at the B-Rude Fashion show on Sept. 22, 2006 in London.
