With this particular hashtag Twitterverse responded to the yesterday's Closing Ceremony of Olympic Games 2012. An important role in the ceremony was given to British fashion: several huge billboards, picturing British top-models wearing exquisite garments by British designers, were displayed in the center of the main stage. Kate Moss (in Alexander McQueen), Naomi Campbell (also wearing Alexander McQueen), Stella Tennant (in Christopher Kane), Lily Cole (in Erdem), Karen Elson (in Burberry), Jourdan Dunn (in Jonathan Saunders and Stephen Jones), Georgia May Jagger (in Victoria Beckham), Lily Donaldson (in Vivienne Westwood) and David Gandy (in Paul Smith). Shortly after their appearance the posters revealed the fashion-stars themselves. They walked rather fiercely the improvised runways - the lines of Union Jack (main stage decoration). The looks were created by Sam McKnight (famous British hair artist) and Val Garland (renowned British make-up artist).
We hope that after watching the ceremony, Russian Olympic committee hasn't decided to invite Viatcheslav Zaitsev and Valentin Yudashkin to Sochi's events in order to show 'Russian fashion'...
