Based on Belgium 1969
Louis Neefs — Jennifer Jennings
London streets lacked special fashion in their shops
Just endless rows of boring tops, then one May
A French King gave a new venture a dry run
Reselling clothing from '01, ready to buy
His first display: Erica Jennings
Billowing sleeves, pants with glittery thighs
A smash! Earnings unending
This shop gave Bilal Hassani a way
To pay for his musée
Feeling brave, he coupled Swedish pleather tat
With Vanna’s backing singer’s hat:
Crowds all raved
Nuša D’s S&M wasp décolleté
Paired with a Polish coat of hair
And Nino’s shades
Soon Dutch Michelle’s breathable leggings
Were gracing catwalks from Linz to Lusail
Jumpsuits at every wedding
Yet there’s a sad end to this couture tale:
Bilal went bust, recklessly spending
Procuring stock that nobody would buy
Skamp wigs, no longer trending
For Lindsay’s tracksuits, no takers today
No way
Haldor Lægreid?
Sedat Yüce?
No profit made :(
