Oxford Fashion Week held its Lingerie and Swimsuit show last night at Malmaison. Scantilly clad fit young women and men marched up and down a make shift catwalk in the Champagne Bar on the 3rd floor.

The well dressed, good looking populace watched, smiling, nodding their head and letting out a few whoops (boys only) when the more risque outfits were on parade.

This night seemed even more popular than the one before at Freud's, especially when the models came out to talk to the guests, before putting their street clothes back on. Of course it could have just been the atmosphere and more intimate venue.

The producers of the show created a great mood between clubbing and burlesque making everyone think that they were watching something naughty, a bit sinful.

This might explain the amount of sweets they had on offer for nibbles. Towers of donuts, plates of cupcakes and what must have been the entire holdings of the restaurants pudding cart were passed around. Being surrounded by the pert models quenched my desire for dessert and had me craving a bit of celery.

The aperitif before the show was sparkling with grenadine or kirsch. I liked the bubbles, but again it was a bit sweet for my palate.

I would rather had a simple glass of Veuve Cliquot, but I understand the trendiness of the pink potion.

Carl Anglim and his team have successfully organized an event that has drawn crowds and created a buzz proving that Oxford is more than Academic. Good luck to them with the debate at the Oxford Union tonight.

I'm looking forward to the zenith Friday night, the couture show at the Sheldonian.
