Fashion That Kills

NEW YORK – It’s been a deadly affair at the New York Fashion Week on Wednesday. A woman attending the Joanna Mastroianni fainted and died.

95 year old fashion icon Zelda Kaplan was sitting in the first row watching the Mastroianni models parade by when without warning she sank into her chair and landed with her head in her neighbor’s lap.

Security personal was called in. They carried Kaplan over the catwalk outside where attempts to survive the fashionista were to no avail.

In 2003, Zelda Kaplan was featured in a documentary shown by HBO, entitled ”Her Name is Zelda’, which highlighted how a woman went from housewife to champagne slurping night owl; a cutesy name she received after making this statement:

“I go to bed somewhere between midnight and 7 in the morning”.

For the elder American generation, Kaplan became an icon long before she became a night owl fashion guru.

Early in her life, the brave woman traveled throughout Africa fighting for women’s rights. She was the first woman to make the Western world aware of the cruel and devastation practice of cutting women’s genitals in Africa; a ‘ritual’ that is still ongoing in some remote parts of that continent.

While traveling, Kaplan combined her fashion sense with her fight for rights. She purchased brightly colored, pattern material directly from Africa and used it to create bold fashionable outfits that she herself designed and wore.

The outfits she wore got her noticed in the fashion world. She became famous for wearing brightly colored clothing and large sunglasses.
