This firm began to parade as a member of a group and today it already has its own entity and its place in the CLEC. The meaning of the contest is to become a launching platform for young Valencian talents”, says the director of the contest. One of the most anticipated moments will be the parade of Lenifro, who rescues Fab Morvan (former member of Milli Vanilli) to parade and act. The CLEC Fashion Festival catwalk has always been distinguished by presenting transgressive and disruptive looks, but on this occasion he has gone one step further by choosing one of the most controversial artists in the history of music as a model.. At the end of the decade of the 80, the duo Milli Vanilli - made up of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus- topped the charts almost all over the world. They danced, they sang, They were young and handsome, and they made their song Girl You Know It’s True sold more than seven million copies and earned them a Grammy Award. But the dream was shattered when it was discovered that they were not the voices that interpreted their songs.. Fab Morvan has lived through difficult years and is determined to recover his life as an artist, and that is why CLEC is going to give him a second chance.
Actually, Morvan lands at the festival with Lenifro, the brand created by the Valencian designer Helen López, that will arrive at CLEC to close the first day's parades, just landed from London Fashion Week. López studied Design and Marketing in this city, where he has worked for luxury brands such as YSL, Prada and Louis Vuitton before moving to New York, city where he had the opportunity to collaborate with the legendary Lynn Dell and build his brand from scratch. Lenifro was born four years ago in Spain, after having gone through a program that discovered fashionable talents on national television, and is characterized by its defense of colors, the printing and a very personal style with eighties touches. She is the one who rescued Fab Morvan, which will also delight the public with a performance during the parade. But it will not be the only one to bring music closer to the CLEC: The inaugural session will be led by “Colectivo Futuro” with the “party by Neo Guarras”, that are triumphing in London and Berlin. It will start at 22:30 hours with “FAG HAG” and will be followed by “The Gypsy of the Future”, that will liven up the night until one.
A talk titled “Sustainable Gastronomy” will kick off Saturday's event 21, starting at 11.30 hours. At 13 hours will begin Parade of Emergents (independent brands less than two years old) and at 13.30 hours will take place la charla de Tony Glenville “Future os Fashion Design”.
