International fashion shows are famous for high profile fashion designers and their creations, a bevy of extremely good looking models, and the exquisitely beautiful, expensive carpets. Yes, fashion shows are where fashion and carpet meet and intersect. The entire venue is covered in the most beautiful carpets to create the right ambiance. Thus, to carpet lovers, fashion shows are as much about carpets as they are about fashion.
The most anticipated international fashion show this season is Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show starting on December 8.

The coveted red carpet, as it is called, is reserved for celebrity models, fashion designers and movie stars.
There are also many minor and local fashion shows throughout North America during this winter season. Depending on their importance, some manage to make national headlines. Some are attended by international celebrities, most aren’t. But they all have one thing in common and that is the use of
rugs. In every fashion show that’s worth attending, there are carpets everywhere – in the hall, in the corridors and on the ramp.
