Ben Watts - Issue 2 - Part 3. Fashion Week Proves Bicycles Are the Pinnacle Of. Sept. 15, 2010 It's fashion week in New York, and bicycles are proving to be more fashionable than ever before. In a Saks Fifth Avenue series of print ads that feature models in high end designs by Giorgio Armani and the like, women pose with bicycles, skateboards, hockey sticks and skis among other things.

But it's not just the fact that they are posing with bikes, but the models of bikes they chose, and the fantastic incongruity of the clothing they are presumably wearing on the bikes. One ad shows a model wearing a partially see-through, wrapped gauze Batista Valli dress, and high heeled booties, standing next to a turn of the (previous) century high bike.

Another ad shows a model with a black wrap jacket, a lace skirt, and four-inch heels pushing a fold up bike. The ads appear in Vogue and W magazine. In another photographic series that appears in W Magazine, photos of residents of the East End of London show two characters with their bicycles. The ad is a real departure for Kors.
