Hope you're well! Wanted to tip you off about Fashion Week Internationale - a new fashion series showcasing  different Fashion Weeks around the world. It's pretty incredible. Anything from Fashion Week in Islamabad Pakistan to Icelandic Fashion Week to next week's highlight -Fashion Week in Medellin, Colombia. In the video, we meet Pablo Escobar's brother to get the lowdown on 'narco-beauty' and sit through butt-implant surgery. What you didn't know that was all the rage in Medellin? We have preview videos I can send you just hit me back! Next filming is Phnom Penh,  then they go to Lagos, Nigeria. Please let me know if you can cover this - the world is waiting! You need to tell them!

[Description: cid:image006.jpg at 01CC9315.E695B930]VICE.com announces Fashion Week Internationale coming to YouTube: Fashion week Medellin, Colombia-style! Series host, Charlet Duboc,  is flown to Medellin, Colombia, the plastic surgery capital, and soon-to-be fashion capital of South America to meet the style mavens behind the cosmetically enhanced, curvy  girls of the fashion world. Charlet is front row to witness two opposing ideas of Colombian fashion. First, we hit Colombiamoda, a fashion event based on the more European aesthetic; then, we cross town for Colombia Para el Mondo, which caters to the more traditional, albeit cosmetically enhanced, curvy girls in Colombia. We also meet Pablo Escobar's brother to get the lowdown on 'narco-beauty' and sit through bum implant surgery.


Fashion Week Internationale  is devoted to the world of fashion that exists outside the superlative catwalks of New York, London, Paris, and Milan, revealing a whole new world of fashion, and capturing a truly unique take on the bitchiest industry around. In each episode, Fashion Week Internationale documents the fashion weeks that take place in cities and countries that normally make international news with their political and economic woes, to the most crackpot fashion week themes and the stimulating characters behind them.

ABOUT CHARLET DUBOC
Born and raised in the English countryside and seemingly doomed to a fate of hanging out on the Kings Road in a pashmina, Charlet Duboc was the black sheep of the convent school. She couldn't wait to escape her strict, conservative upbringing (Charlet's mother demanded that her clothes always color- match, from socks to hair bobble - she now can't bear anything to match).

As a solitary pre-pubescent child with an infatuation with MTV, she dreamed of dressing like Mase (yeah we know, weird). To this day, Charlet dons non-obvious 90s couture she blames on hours of indoctrinating herself with music videos at her first job at EMI. She has trashy yet expensive taste that ranges from Mugler, Gaultier, Lacroix, Moschino, Versace, Naf Naf, Coogi, Guess? and Chipie and claims that if she had more time and a disposable income, she'd look like her ideal: a cross between the girls of the "Macarena" video, Rose McGowan in "The Doom Generation," and Lil' Kim in her heyday.

Since escaping to the city, Charlet has dabbled in a number of different careers - from chauffeur of bands, to actor, and model. She attended Kings College London for her BA, and began DJ-ing Dancehall and Hip- Hop before she finally started freelance writing for VICE. She quickly moved her way up as the word assistant in VICE's Fashion Department, but always dreamed of doing documentary.

One day, the idea for Fashion Week Internationale  popped into her head, and after pitching it to VICE's Global Editor, Andy Capper, she soon found herself on a plane to Islamabad with fellow series co-creator and Director Will Fairman.
