'Establishing Washington As The Center Of International Fashion'

This is quite the lofty statement coming from a town that has the highest number of women who still wear socks and sneakers with their skirt suits and nude pantyhose-post Working Girl : This week is DC Fashion Week, featuring top international designers not from France or Italy, but Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Uzbekistan.

Most of the clothing can be described as ethnodrag/Arab Ziggy Stardust -- there's a lot of native headdresses and boobage going on, lots of feathers, fur and sparklies.

Also, it's not even in D.C. It's in Maryland.
