The catwalk, luxurious dresses, hats and sophisticated accessories are all invariable attributes of the fashion show. Even if it is not people who are parading in the role of models, but … ducks! Pied piper duck show - one of the most popular shows, which takes place annually in Sydney (Australia) during the celebration of Easter. Duck fashion show - an integral part of the two-week Royal Easter Festival, which attracts an average of 900,000 spectators.
On the website Kulturologia. Ru, we have already written about how Holy Week is held in different countries of the world. Now we will talk about Australian traditions. The organizer of the fashion show, 60-year-old farmer from New South Wales Brian Harrington, is confident that his feathered models are in no way inferior to people - they are just as talented, but not yet appreciated by the general public. The farmer has been delighting the residents of Sydney with an unusual performance for more than 30 years, changing his duck outfits every year in accordance with the latest fashion trends.
In addition to the Pied Piper Duck Show, the festival also hosts duck running races. The audience enthusiastically cheers for their favorites, having fun from the heart! In addition, there are food stalls for everyone, where you can have a snack not only with sandwiches and baked potatoes, enjoy strawberries, ice cream and milkshakes, but also taste the signature dish - fried duck!
It should be noted that ducks are not the first "non-human" models on the catwalk. In America, fashion designers are happy to dress up four-legged in their dresses. So, in New York one could witness Ada Nieves' rat fashion show, and in Florida one could admire the most fashionable dogs in exquisite outfits!
